Old Lyrics - Paul Simon

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 

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 

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?

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 

God is old 

We're not old 

God is old 

He made the mold 

Take your clothes off 

Adam and Eve
