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 1 500 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 about
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...
