The way we're living
makes no sense
Take me back to the
age of innocence
I want to go back then
Take me back to the
age of innocence
Back to the age
of innocence
(verse 1)
When flaws were fixed
by laws and books
When singers wrote
songs instead of hooks
When the value wasn't
in the price
When the fight for life
was in the civil right
When you couldn't live
life through a screen
When everything you knew
was as good as it seems
When the only worry was
the concept of sin
When did it begin?
(chorus)
I wonder if I could
go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped
blonde bombshells
Instead of creating
the perfect hell
The way we're living
makes no sense
Take me back to the
age of innocence
I want to go back then
Take me back to the
age of innocence
Back to the age
of innocence
(verse 2)
When pharmaceuticals weren't
there to make life beautiful
When the way that we were born
was more than suitable
When everybody thought that
they could make a difference
And you couldn't get your
(hold)
(bridge)
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Now take me back
to the simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Don't wanna be the prey
to the scalpel's blade
Now please tell me please
tell me, whatever happened
(repeat chorus)
