The first time I heard 'Peggy Sue'
|
I was 12 years old
|
Russians up in rocket ships
|
And the war was cold
|
Now many wars have come and gone
|
Genocide still goes on
|
Buddy Holly still goes on
|
But his catalog was sold
|
|
First time I smoked
|
Guess what ' Paranoid
|
First time I heard 'Satisfaction'
|
I was young and unemployed
|
Down the decades every year
|
Summer leaves and my birthday's here
|
And all my friends stand up and cheer
|
And say man you're old
|
Getting old
|
Old
|
Getting old
|
|
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day
|
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
|
About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke
|
And his wisdom like a river flowed
|
Through hills of gold
|
Wisdom is old
|
The Koran is old
|
The Bible is old
|
Greatest story ever told
|
|
Disagreements?
|
Work'em out
|
|
The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million
|
And we estimate the universe at 13-14 billion
|
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
|
Consider that the lord was here before creation
|
God is old
|
We're not old
|
God is old
|
He made the mold
|
|
Take your clothes off
|
Adam and Eve
|
