Letra de la canción
Take a trip to China, if you dare
They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there
Iran or Russia, or the USA
Old men, lay down
Lay down old men, you've had your fun
Lay down old men, your time is run
Lay down your arms, let in the light
Old men, lay down
Old men, with old clothes
Old men, with minds closed
Old men, with bad teeth
They own you, they own me
Take a trip to China, if you dare
They gotta lotta old men shooting young men there
Old men with bad teeth
They own you, they own me
Old men, in big cars
Old men, with missiles
Old men, on TV
They own newspapers and they own me
Have you seen a politician, with a mile wide smile
Who didn't love himself more than a mother loves her child
Old men, on TV
They own newspapers and they own me
Take a trip to China, if you dare
Look at Iran - Jesus
Look at Russia - getting better
Or the USA - maybe they're getting better
And Lebanon, and the Vatican
And Panama, most of South America
Old men, on TV
They own you, they own me
Old men, lay down your arms - let in the light
Lay down your arms - and let in the light
Old men, lay down, take a hike
Get out of here, get on your bike
You've had your time
Your times is run
