Testi

[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
Gettin' old
Yeah, old
We're gettin' old
[Verse 2]
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day
And Buddha found Nirvana along the lotus way
'Bout fifteen hundred years ago, the messenger Mohammed spoke
And his wisdom, like a river, flowed through hills of gold
[Chorus]
Wisdom is old
The Quran is old
The Bible is old
Greatest story ever told
[Bridge]
Disagreements?
Work 'em out
[Verse 3]
The human race has walked the Earth for 2.7 million
And we estimate the universe 'bout thirteen, fourteen billion
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
Consider that the Lord was there before creation
[Chorus]
God is old
We're not old
God is old
He made the mold
[Outro]
Take your clothes off
Adam and Eve
