John Butler Trio - Old Man lyrics

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 religion The wall came down and Big Mac beat the communists Feels like it was overnight Old man looks out the window You know, he cannot open it anymore The air outside it's 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 Enjoy your last Last taste of freedom Old man, he looks out the window 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 Enjoy your last Last taste of freedom
