Old World New World

Natives wearing turquoise and silver
Dirty dogs barking in the distance
Ooh, people of a thousand tongues
I'm learning the primitive rights
I'm doing as the Romans do

Mount Kalaish to Mount Everest
Then down to the River Ganges
Ooh, to follow your mighty past
We're learning the primitive rights
We're doing as the Romans do

Old world, new world
I know nothing, but I keep listening
Old world, new world
I know nothing, but I keep listening

Cities tumble into the ocean
Cities getting built in the sky
Ooh, now we're talking digital
We're learning the primitive rights
We're doing as the Romans do

Millions playing at Monopoly
Rolling the dice of their lives
Ooh, they're dancing and shaking hands
They're learning the primitive rights
They're doing as the Romans do

Old world, new world
I know nothing, but I keep listening
Old world, new world
I know nothing, but I keep listening
Old world, new world
Old world, new world

I know nothing, grow old, look wise
Never know until I die
But I'll keep listening
I'll keep listening
