Lyrics

Well the old world may be dead Our parents can't understand But I still love my parents And I still love the old world Oh, I had a New York girlfriend And she couldn't understand how I could Still love my parents and still love the old world So I told her: I want to keep my place in the old world Keep my place in the arcane 'Cause I still love my parents and I still love the old world Alright I say old world I say old world I say Well I see a '50's apartment house Bleak in the morning sun But I still love the '50's And I still love the old world I wanna keep my place in the old world Keep my place in the arcane 'Cause I still love my parents and I still love the old world Alright I see the '50's apartment house It's bleak in the 1970's sun But I still love the '50's And I still love the old world I wanna keep my place in this old world Keep my place in the arcane knowledge And I still love the '50's and I still love the old world Alright now we say bye bye old world Gotta help the new world Oh bye bye I say bye bye bye bye old world
