Take a trip to China – If you dare
They got a lot of 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
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 got a lot of 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 – they're getting better
Or the USA – maybe they're getting better
The 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 had your time, your time is run!
