Lyrics

Old World

Well, the old world might be dead
Our parents can't understand
But I still love our parents
And I still love the old world

I had a New York girlfriend
She couldn't understand
How I could love my parents
And still love the old world

So I told her,
I wanna keep my place in this old world
Keep my place in the arcane
But I love my parents
And I still love the old world

See the 50s apartment house
It's bleak in the morning sun
But I still love the 50s
And I still love the old world

I wanna keep my place in the old world
Keep my place in the arcane
But I love the 50s
And I still love the old world

See the 50s apartment house
It's bleak in the 1970s sun
But I love the 50s
And I still love the old world

Alright, now we say bye bye old world
Gotta help the new world
We say bye bye
Bye bye bye bye
Old world die
