Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Natives werin' turquoise and silver
Dirty dogs barkin' in the distance
Ooh, people of a thousand tongues
I'm learnin' the primitive rights
I'm doin' as the Romans do
[Verse 2]
Mt. Kalais to Mt. Everest
Then down to the River Ganges
Ooh, to follow your mighty past
We're learnin'  primitive rights
Doin' as the Romans do
[Verse 3]
Old world, new world
I know nothin'
But I'll keep dancin'
[Verse 4]
Old world, new world
I know nothin'
But I'll keep dancin'
[Verse 5]
City's crumble into the ocean
City's gettin' built in the sky
Ooh, now we're talkin' digital
We're learnin' the primitive rights
We're doin' as the Romans do
[Verse 6]
Millions playin' at Monopoly
Rollin' the dice of their lives
Ooh, I'm dancin' and shakin' hands
We're learnin' the primitive rights
We're doin' as the Romans do
[Verse 7]
Old world, new world
I know nothin'
But I'll keep listening
[Verse 8]
Old world, new world
I know nothin'
But I'll keep dancin'
[Verse 9]
Old world, new world
Old world, new world
I know nothing
[Verse 10]
Grow old, look wise
Never knowing till I die
But I'll keep listening
I'll keep listening
[Verse 11]
