Old World Calling
Don't it feel good trying to watch the sunrise
Knowing you might miss it if you blink
Here's some poppies, we'll pretend they're roses
Leave your dirty dishes in the sink
And there's a place where we can sit for hours
Even though I'll never change my past
Throwing pebbles just to make a statement
Don't it feel good thinking this might last
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
Walking through the same old desert wasteland
Thought I caught a fleeting glimpse of you
We don't really need to be forgiven
Doing things the way they used to do
And hearing you, you're like a broken record
Telling me there's one way to survive
Pretty sure that I don't need no saviour
Pretty sure we'll make it out alive
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
Wondering if you'd maybe like some water
Something that could wet your dried out eyes
I threw out the roses that you sent me
What else would you like me to prescribe
And don't you know that you can't buy forgiveness
If you could you wouldn't pay the price
Looking at the flowers that you sent me
Soon enough they'll wilt and then they'll die
Someday we'll come here and we won't turn back
There's so many roads that we could take
Train a-passing out across the river
All the broken dreams that we could make
And there's a place where we can sit for hours
Even though I'll never change my past
Throwing pebbles just to make a statement
Don't it feel good thinking this might last
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
Knowing you might miss it if you blink
Here's some poppies, we'll pretend they're roses
Leave your dirty dishes in the sink
And there's a place where we can sit for hours
Even though I'll never change my past
Throwing pebbles just to make a statement
Don't it feel good thinking this might last
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
Walking through the same old desert wasteland
Thought I caught a fleeting glimpse of you
We don't really need to be forgiven
Doing things the way they used to do
And hearing you, you're like a broken record
Telling me there's one way to survive
Pretty sure that I don't need no saviour
Pretty sure we'll make it out alive
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
Wondering if you'd maybe like some water
Something that could wet your dried out eyes

What else would you like me to prescribe
And don't you know that you can't buy forgiveness
If you could you wouldn't pay the price

And there's a place where we can sit for hours
Even though I'll never change my past
Throwing pebbles just to make a statement
Don't it feel good thinking this might last
Hear the old world calling
Watch her bombs a-falling
Sign me up and I'll go fight her war
Calling this a revolution
It's just an institution
Like the one our parents served before
