Buddy Miller This Old World Lyrics

This Old World Lyrics

This old world just stays the same

One man wants what the other man gained

One man's greedy, one man's not

You can't worship money and God



Cain killed Abel, that was his brother

Now the sons of Abraham are still killin' each other

Come on children, can't you understand

Jesus washed away all the sins of man



Pray, pray

Time to love every man, woman and child

Pray, pray

Just forgive and let live for a little while, hey



Hey, I shake my head and wonder how much more

The bells are tolling in the streets of the world

What time is it, help me understand

Why is war in the heart of man?



Children of Abraham, Hagar and Sara

Sing a new song, cheer the way for Heaven

Jesus, endless praise to Thee

People better get down on your knees



And pray, pray

Time to love every man, woman and child

Pray, pray

Just forgive and let live for a little while



Hey, this old world still stays the same

One man wants what the other man's gained

One man's greedy, one man's not

You can't worship money and God



Hey, this old world still stays the same

One man wants what the other man's gained

Now one man's greedy and one man's not

You can't worship your money and God



Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey
