#INTRO

#CHORUS
I won’t go back
Until I’m moving forward
Until I’ve made
A great big name for myself
Won’t go back
Unless I’m up for an award
Won’t go back
Without buckets of wealth

#VERSE
Jerks who lurked in hallways back in high school
Used to jump from empty lockers and knock me down
Now they’ve all heard I moved to L.A. but failed
They bullied me then, they’d love to laugh at me now

#VERSE
So, no, I won’t accept your invitation
I’ll hang at home with the tv while you celebrate
The reunions are an orgy of memory masturbation
Where you relive why the high school “you” was so great

#PRE-CHORUS
Those of us you tagged as “losers”
Huddled with our outcast friends
Can you comprehend what assholes
Some of you were back then?
And that’s why…

#CHORUS
I won’t go back
Until I’m moving forward
Until I’ve made
A great big name for myself
Won’t go back
Unless I’m up for an award
Won’t go back
Without buckets of wealth

#VERSE
I see you posting pictures of your fancy lives
Proving how you made all your dreams come true
Sportscar-driving husbands and wrinkle-free wives
You can’t help yourself but brag, it’s always been what you do

#PRE-CHORUS
My friends and I hid in your shadows
But you’ll never dare admit
That ever since grade school
You’ve been full of shit

#INSTRUMENTAL

#BRIDGE
Now I watch you spin the facts
Pretending you were always angels
Helpful, kind, compassionate
Saviors of the earth
You’re fundraising for a charity
To keep bullied kids from danger
Are you just paying off your guilt
For how terrible you were?

#CHORUS
So, no, I won’t go back
Even once I’m moving forward
Not even if I have
Some success for myself
Won’t go back to mingle
With you pricks, bitches, and cowards
Have fun at your reunion
Then go fuck yourselves

#OUTRO
Have fun at your reunion
Then go fuck yourselves
Hey, I don’t care if you have fun
Just go fuck yourselves
