Old men (lay down)


(Roger Taylor)

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 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 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 missilesOld 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 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Cross was a British rock band active from 1987 to 1993. Founded by Queen drummer Roger Taylor, the project emerged as a parallel collaboration alongside Queen, aiming to explore more experimental and less commercial sounds. The band's sound was characterized by a blend of hard rock, progressive rock, and psychedelic influences, with lyrics often introspective and poetic. Among the founding members were guitarist Pete Newdeck, bassist Phil Chen, and singer/guitarist Jason Bonham (son of legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham). The Cross released two studio albums: "The Cross" (1988) and "Mad, Bad and Beautiful" (1990), both well-received by critics. The band disbanded in 1993 due to creative and personal differences. Some representative tracks include "Power to Believe", "I'm Not Your Man", and "The Way You Make Me Feel".
