《Oldest Old》歌词

[00:00:00] Oldest Old - Fox and the Bird

[00:00:27] Sad to say I see a lot of anger here

[00:00:31] It makes compassion disappear

[00:00:35] And helps me stay so far away

[00:00:38] But hopefully we're not the type of men as we

[00:00:42] Have seen in generations past

[00:00:46] The kind that live and die so fast

[00:00:51] An ancient struggle has become the loneliest heartache

[00:01:02] An ancient cycle is now our first and last mistake

[00:01:12] For the oldest old of the newest born

[00:01:17] Couldn't ever know how the earth was formed

[00:01:23] From the saddest deaths bloody aftermath

[00:01:26] To the poorest peasant birth

[00:01:29] To the men that fought and died to conquer earth

[00:01:44] Fossilized we strain to open up our eyes

[00:01:48] And see the way things used to be

[00:01:52] We dig too far in history

[00:01:55] And there exposed our heartless faithless cousins go

[00:01:59] To wash and wash repeatedly

[00:02:03] But in their eyes ourselves we see

[00:02:08] An ancient struggle has become the loneliest heartache

[00:02:19] An ancient cycle is now our first and last mistake

[00:02:29] For the oldest old of the newest born

[00:02:34] Couldn't ever know how the earth was formed

[00:02:41] From the saddest deaths bloody aftermath

[00:02:44] To the poorest peasant birth

[00:02:46] And the way we laughed when the world collapsed

[00:02:49] And we're left with childbirth

[00:02:52] And the song we sang penned in father's name

[00:02:54] But we swore we wrote it first

[00:02:58] To the men we never knew to conquer earth
