Lyrics:
Chorus
They wanna go backward
Though the world’s revolving forward
They think that cavemen rode the dinosaurs
Turning progress into a war
Yeah they wanna go backward
Though time moves only forward
Like insects in the subfloor
Instead of saying what they stand for
 
Verse 1
Change is scary
Changing is constant
Change brings them down to their knees
And narrow vision
Intentional blinders
Twenty first century disease
 
Chorus
 
Verse 2
A state of denial
A wink and a smile
It’s very evil indeed
We’re all at their mercy
The car’s in reversie
We’re all begging please
Please Please!
