John Brown Lyrics by Papercuts

Can’t Go Back

0

Ooh John Brown
Where you gonna go to now?
Ooh John Brown
Where you gonna go to now?

I see in your eyes
But I can't see your brain
Something don't look right
Are you going away?

I know you can see
Faces in the walls
And, oh, you can hear
Those voices in the halls

But oh John Brown
If you go downtown now
Just be sure
It's the will of the lord

There's a man over yonder
He's as mad as the devil
Of what's become of this land

They say a man can only fill
Just so much in his head
Until they start to forget

But oh John Brown
Where you goin' now?
Oh John Brown
Where you goin' now?

Ahh, ahh, ahh
