Текст песни Old - Paul Simon

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 catalog 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"

Gettin′ old
Get old
You're gettin' old

We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
′Bout 1,500 years ago, the messenger Mohammed spoke
And his wisdom like a river flowed through hills of gold

Wisdom is old
The Quran is old
The Bible 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 'bout 13-14 billion
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
Consider that the Lord was here before creation

God is old
We′re not old
God is old
He made the mold

Take your clothes off
Adam and Eve
