Old Men
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 man you've had your fun
Lay down old man, your time is run
Lay down your arms, let in the light
Old man, lay down.
Then the guitar bit kicks in and the song changes key...
(maybe someone should do proper tab to this)
(this is the main riff i think)
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, with 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
Guitar riff with electric bass.
Repeated "take a trip to china...."
