Old

Album: Essential Paul |Simon Durasi: 2:20
[00:11.22]The first time I heard "Peggy Sue"
[00:12.83]I was 12 years old
[00:14.71]Russians up in rocket ships
[00:16.57]And the war was cold
[00:18.82]Now many wars have come and gone
[00:21.13]Genocide still goes on
[00:22.93]Buddy Holly still goes on
[00:24.78]But his catalog was sold
[00:26.65]First time I smoked
[00:28.49]Guess what? Paranoid
[00:30.24]First time I heard "Satisfaction"
[00:32.40]I was young and unemployed
[00:34.87]Down the decades every year
[00:36.68]Summer leaves and my birthday's here
[00:38.38]And all my friends stand up and cheer
[00:40.31]And say, "Man, you're old"
[00:42.13]Gettin' old
[00:44.07]Get old
[00:45.56]You're gettin' old
[00:47.20]🎵
[00:57.26]We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day
[01:01.41]And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
[01:05.24]'Bout 1,500 years ago, the messenger Mohammed spoke
[01:09.12]And his wisdom like a river flowed through hills of gold
[01:12.87]Wisdom is old
[01:14.21]The Quran is old
[01:16.15]The Bible is old
[01:18.89]Greatest story ever told
[01:21.20]🎵
[01:27.73]Disagreements?
[01:29.59]Work 'em out
[01:31.11]🎵
[01:36.15]The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million
[01:39.96]And we estimate the universe 'bout 13-14 billion
[01:44.31]When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
[01:47.28]Consider that the Lord was here before creation
[01:51.67]God is old
[01:53.40]We're not old
[01:55.02]God is old
[01:57.31]He made the mold
[01:59.23]🎵
[02:06.42]Take your clothes off
[02:08.39]Adam and Eve
[02:10.26]🎵
