Old

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 getting old!"

[Chorus 1]
Getting old
Old
Getting old

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
Wisdom is old
The Koran is old
The Bible is old
Greatest story ever told

[Bridge]
Disagreements?
Work them out

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
God is old
We're not old
God is old
He made the mold

[Outro]
Take your clothes off
Adam and Eve
