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