The first time I heard "Peggy Sue", I was 12 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 catalogue 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

Getting old, old, getting old" We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day

And Buddah found Nirvana along the Lotus Way

About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke

And his wisdom, like a river flowed through hills of gold Wisdom is old, the Koran is old

The Bible's is old, greatest story ever told Disagreements?

Work 'em out The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million

And we estimate the universe about 13 to 14 billion

When all these numbers tumble into your imagination

Consider that the Lord was there before creation God is old, we're not old

God is old, he made the mold Take your clothes off

Adam and Eve
