The way we're living makes no sense

Take me back to the age of innocence

I wanna go back then

Take me back to the age of innocence

Back to the age of innocence

When clockwork fixed by lights 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 rights

When we could 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?

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 wanna go back then

Take me back to the age of innocence

Back to the age of innocence

When pharmaceuticals were there to make life beautiful

When the way that we were born was more than suitable

When everybody thought they could make a difference

And you couldn't get your pics within an instance

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 wanna go back then

Take me back to the age of innocence

Back to the age of innocence

I wanna get older, don't fight my age

Take me back to those simpler days

I wonder how it all happened

I wanna get older, don't fight my age

Don't wanna be the shade of a scalpel's blade

So please tell me, please tell me

What ever happened? Happened?

I wonder if I could,

Go back to old Hollywood

When presidents dropped blonde bombshells

Instead of creating their lives to hell

The way we're living makes no sense

Take me back, take me back

To the age of innocence

I wanna go back then

Take me back, take me back

To the age of innocence

Back to the age of innocence

I wanna get older, don't fight my age

Take me back to those simpler days

I wonder how it all happened

I wanna get older, don't fight my age

Don't wanna be the page on the scalpel's blade

So please tell me, please tell me

What ever happened? Happened?
