Why Can't We Go Back? I was sitting in the cafe a month ago Wednesday When in walked a big ol’ dude He ordered a frappe said “make it snappy because I got some things to do” Well I could not believe it I never would conceive it What’s this world become When guys big and macho Drink cappuccino It makes me go numb Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back To when we drank our coffee black? Imagine a war scene Soldiers in the canteen Lining up to get some joe In walks the major “sir, what’s your flavor? Is it for here or to go?” "Well I'd like a mocha venti But make sure there’s plenty of room for my whipped cream” This military action Is such a big infraction It makes me want to scream Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back To when we drank our coffee black? Picture a precinct Where all the cops drink Some kind of fru-fru brew Instead of the java That tasted like lava Like they drank on Hill Street Blues I’d shout “that’s enough” As I slap on the cuffs “You’ve committed a felony. And you’re gonna do time For this caffeinated crime Come along with me” Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back To when we drank our coffee black? Now I’m back in the café Drinking my latte Yep, I’ve given in too And I regret what I’ve done 'cause it’s costing me a ton to get a cup of brew But who would ever think They could make a coffee drink That tasted so damn good But take me back to the day when we drank it one way Oh I wish you could Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back To when we drank our coffee black? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back? Why can’t we go back To when we drank our coffee black? To when we drank our coffee black? Music & Lyrics by Timothy Neil Tegge (Copyright 2007) Copyright 2007
