Back to Basics Lyrics

We're Going Back
Back to Basics
We're Going Back
Back to Basics
We're Going Back
Back to the neighborhood
We're Going Back

I was 17 when I left home
Went as far away as I could get
Headed southward to the sunshine
To meet people I hadn't met
Put my faith in situations
Anything to reject the past
Situations turned sour
False prophecy never lasts

We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to reality
We're going back

Uh-oh I found trouble
When the mirror started changing
I started reading started believing
Silly magazines
Did me nothing got me nowhere
Except confusion such confusion
I'm going back to what meant something
When I was a litle boy

We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to the neighborhood
We're going back

That's my story if you didn't like it
I'm so sorry we'll have to agree to disagree
If you think I'm gonna be hurt by it
That's the difference between you and me

We're going back, back to basics
