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 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 T.V.
They own newspapers and they own me

Have you seen a politician, with a mile wide smile
Who didn't love himself more that a mother loves her child
Old men, on T.V.
They own newspaper and they own me
Old men, lay down your arms - let in the light
You had your time - your time is run
