Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And the same thing comes from us
And then the same thing comes from us
[Verse 2]
Old have memories to keep them cold away
What is that you say?
No sense to dwell
[Verse 3]
Old, are you ridiculed and turned away
No attention paid
I thought as much
[Verse 4]
Yes, and the dumb patriots have their say
Only see their way
Nothing to sell
[Verse 5]
And then from us, so obvious
Preposterous, when you think
Of the time that each has spent
[Verse 6]
Words heaven-sent and truly meant to show
[Verse 7]
Old, may I sit down here and learn today?
I'll hear all you say
Won't go away
[Verse 8]
And then from us, so obvious
Preposterous, when you think
Of the time that each has spent
[Verse 9]
Words heaven-sent and truly meant to show
