Buddy Miller - This Old World Lyrics

(Buddy Miller and Victoria Williams)

this old world just stays the same
one man wants what the other man gained
one man's greedy one man's not
you can't worship money and god

cain killed abel that was his brother
sons of abraham still killing each other
c'mon children understand
jesus washed all away the sins of man

pray pray
time to love every man woman and child
just forgive and let live for a little while

shake my head and wonder how much more
the bells are tolling on the streets of the world
what time is it help me understand
why is war in the heart of man

children of abraham hagar and sara
sing a new song cheer the way for heaven
jesus endless praise to thee
people better get down on you knees

pray pray
time to love every man woman and child
just forgive and let live for a while
