You'll be coming back before too long
Don't go back to Rockville
So don't go back to Rockville
Oh, I know it might sound strange but I believe
That's full time filth with nowhere left to go
Don't go back to Rockville
If you were here I'd only bleed you
Don't go back to Rockville
They don't talk to anybody they don't know
And if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello
Don't go back to Rockville
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down
You'll be coming back before too long
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
It's not as though I really need you
And waste another year
Don't go back to Rockville
Walk home to an empty house
Going to a place that's far, so far away
Don't go back to Rockville
I don't care that you're not here with me
But something better happen soon
Sit around at night all by yourself
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
All my problems if I'm too far out to see
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Or it's gonna be too late to bring me back
And that's not how it ought to be
Don't go back to Rockville
Though it might sound strange but I believe
You'll wind up in some factory
