Old

[Verse 1]

The first time I heard "Peggy Sue", I was twelve 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"

[Chorus]

Getting old

Old

Getting old

[Verse 2]

We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day

And Buddha found Nirvana along the lotus way

About fifteen thousand years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke

And his wisdom, like a river, flowed through hills of gold

[Chorus]

Wisdom is old

The Quran is old

The Bible is old

Greatest story ever told

[Bridge]

Disagreements?

Work 'em out

[Verse 3]

The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million

And we estimate the universe 'bout thirteen, fourteen billion

When all these numbers tumble into your imagination

Consider that the Lord was there before creation

[Chorus]

God is old

We're not old

God is old

He made the mold

[Outro]

Take your clothes off

Adam and Eve
