Oldman Songtext
von John Butler Trio

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
