Colin Hay - Go Ask An Old Man lyrics

Go ask an old man See what he's got to say Don't ask your teachers Weren't much good anyway Nothing really matters As time drifts on by Drop in the ocean A shot in the sky Don't stray from the narrow Keep your hands clean It seems very silly If you know what I mean You worry and worry Never really know why Wake in the morning As trams roll on by I have a lover So I can't complain For me there's no other We play silly games And though she is not here I'm never alone She's inside my pocket And inside the phone I'm going to Scotland That's where I'm from I'll probably not stay there Cause it's not very warm We followed our father Cause father knows best With rhyme a good reason And my wheezing chest So go ask an old man See what he's got to say If he falls in the gutter Be on your way Nothing really matters As time drifts on by You give your love presents You laugh and you cry
