John Butler Trio Old Man Lyrics

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 relgion , 

The Wall came down and Big Mac beat the communists. 



Feels like it was overnight. 



Old man looks out the window 

You know he can not open it anymore. 

The air outside its 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!
