Old World New World

Natives wearing turquoise and silver

Dirty dogs barking in the distance

Ooh, people of a thousand tongues

I'm learning the primitive rites

I'm doing as the Romans do

Mt. Calais to Mt. Everest

Then down to River Ganges

Ooh, to follow your mighty past

We're learning the primitive rites

We're doing as the Romans do

Old World, New World

I know nothing

But I'll keep listening

Cities tumble into the ocean

Cities getting built in the sky

Ooh, now we're talking digital

We're learning the primitive rites

We're doing as the Romans do

Millions playing at monopoly

Rolling the dice of their lives

Ooh, dancing and shaking hands

We're learning the primitive rites

We're doing as the Romans do

Old World, New World

I know nothing

But I'll keep listening

I know nothing

Grow old, look wise

Never knowing 'till I die

But I'll keep listening

I'll keep listening

Pan, Shambala, Judaism

Hindu, Christianity

Muslim, Buddhism

Atman of Vedes, Sun Ra

Astrology, Voodoo

The Great Dream Time
