about

If nostalgia ain't what it used to be, that hasn't stopped demand from soaring in the last few years.

lyrics

I'll take the slings and arrows
If you take me back and drop me off
I'll bear the blows and turn the other cheek

I'll face the day without a shirt
Upon my back, and pockets full of holes
And crumbs of bread to last the week

I'll make the bad decisions
And I'll suffer every consequence
While seeing the silver lining in the cloud

I'll stake my reputation
On a life of disrepute
And I'll make my mother anything but proud

CHORUS
Take me back
And drop me off
For everyone I ever loved
Was here
And still alive
And still with me

I'll give up all my riches
And I'll give up all my... girls
You can have all of my illest-gotten gains

I'll toss them like they're holding down
My soul in fiery purgatory
Enjoy my every pleasure for your pains

CHORUS

And I don't care how far I've come
From where I used to be
I'd rather go through hell with them
Than paradise with me

I'll take the slings and arrows
If you take me back and drop me off
I'll bear the blows and turn the other cheek

CHORUS x2
