John Butler Trio - Old Man lyrics

rate me

Old man he looks out the window

You know he gets quite a fright.

Whole world has gone and changed on him

Feels like it was overnight.

He saw a world war yeah it came and went

The man walked on the moon right there in his living room

Saw that TV become a relgion,

The Wall came down and Big Mac beat the communists.

Feels like it was overnight.

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Feels like it was overnight

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Old man looks out the window

You know he can not open it anymore.

The air outside its gone to rancid

And the doctor said for him you know it wouldn't be so good for

He saw a hole start opening up in the sky

He's buying water man he doesn't even know why

The smog alerts don't let him even go outside

And then he start he start to think

When the Earth it start to die.

Feel like it was overnight

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Feels like it was overnight

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Enjoy your last.

Last taste of freedom!

Old man he bars up the windows

You know he does not feel so safe anymore.

he come from those supposed good ole days

When you did not even have to go lock your doors

He saw security man look Police man

Saw the Police start looking like the Army Man,

He saw Army start acting like the C.I.A

And guess what, the C.I.A was the president.

Feels like it was overnight

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Feels like it was overnight

Oh god it feels like it was overnight.

Enjoy your last.

Last taste of freedom!
