Paul Simon - Old lyrics

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 getting 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? Work them out

The human race has walked the
Earth for 27 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
