Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too - New Radicals

You've been gone too long You've been gone much too long Baby I'm telling you, you've been gone too long Now I've got a guy, loves to stay home at night He really knows how to treat me right You've been gone too long, you've been gone too long Baby I'm telling you, you've been gone too long Now, you went out with Ruth, when you know though that's the truth You went out with Flo and she ain't so slow Oh, you've been gone too long, you've been gone too long Baby I'm telling you, you've been gone too long Now let me tell you baby, don't you push me around Just you do yourself a favour and get out of town You've been gone too long, yes, you've been gone too long Baby I'm telling you, you've been gone too long You've been gone too long, you've been gone much too long

You can't go home boy, I swear you never can You can walk a million miles and get nowhere I got no where to go ever since I came back Just filling in the lines for the holes, and the cracks No one knows me No one saves me No one loves or hates me I've been away for too long This place has a sṗecial kind of falling apart Like they put the whole thing together in the dark No one knows where the edge of the knife is And no one knows where intelligent life is No one knows me No one saves me No one loves or hates me Going straight I only ever really wanted a break I've been away for too long No I never really wanted to stay I've been away for too long I've been away for too long I've been away for too long Keyholes, through key holes Widows through metals I am still hiding everyone inside Tank girls and fly guns and slippers and boots On my way home Going straight I only ever really wanted a break I've been away for too long No I never really wanted to stay I've been away... Going straight I only ever really wanted a break I've been away for too long No I never really wanted to stay I've been away for too long
