Lyrics

Old man he looks out the window
You know he gets quite a fright
Whole world has gone and changed on him
Feels like it was overnight
He saw a world war yeah it came and went
The man walked on the moon right there in his living room
Saw that tv become a relgion
The wall came down and big mac beat the communists

Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight

Old man looks out the window
You know he can not open it anymore
The air outside its gone to rancid
And the doctor said for him you know it wouldn't be so good for
He saw a hole start opening up in the sky
He's buying water man he doesn't even know why
The smog alerts don't let him even go outside
And then he starts to think
When the earth it start to die

Feel like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight

Enjoy your last
Last taste of freedom!

Old man he bars up the windows
You know he does not feel so safe anymore
He come from those supposed good ole days
When you did not even have to go lock your doors
He saw security man look police man
Saw the police start looking like the army man
He saw army start acting like the c.i.a
And guess what, the c.i.a was the president

Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight

Enjoy your last
Last taste of freedom!
