Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh, I had a New York girlfriend
That she couldn't understand
How I could
Still love my parents and
Still love the old world
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I say, old world
I say, old world
I say
[Verse 5]
Well, I see the '50's apartment house
Bleak in the morning sun
But I still love the '50's
And I still love the old world
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I see the '50's apartment house
It's bleak in the 1970's sun
But still love the '50's
And I still love the old world
[Verse 8]
I wanna keep my place in the old world
Keep my place in the arcane knowledge
And I still love the '50's and
And I still love the old world
[Verse 9]
Alright, now we say bye bye old world
Gotta help the new world
Oh, bye bye
I say bye bye, bye bye old world
