Old (Live)

Old (Live) - Paul Simon (保羅·西蒙)

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

Getting old

Old

You're getting old

We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day

And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way

About 1500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke

And his wisdom like a river flowed

Through hills of gold

Wisdom is old

The Koran is old

The Bible is old

Greatest story ever told

Disagreements

Work'em out

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 there before creation

God is old

We're not old

God is old

He made the mold

Take your clothes off

Adam and Eve
