Lyrics for Living in the Past

Happy and I'm smilin' Walk a mile to drink your water You know I'd love to love you And above you there's no other We'll go walking out While others shout Of war disaster Oh, we won't give in Let's go living in the past Once I used to join in Every boy and girl was my friend Now there's revolution But they don't know What they're fighting Let us close our eyes Outside their lives Go on much faster Oh, we won't give in We'll keep living in the past Oh, we won't give in Let's go living in the past Oh no, no, we won't give in Let's go living in the past
