Olman 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 yeh it came and went.
The man walked on
the moon right there in his living room
Saw the T.V. become a religion
The wall came down and
Big Mac beat the communists

Feels like it was overnight.

Oldman looks out his window
You know he can not open it anymore.
The air outside it’s gone too rancid and the doctor
Said for him you know it wouldn’t be so good for.
He saw the whole 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 starts to DIE.

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 saw Security man look like Police man
Saw the Police start looking like the Army man,
Saw the Army start acting like the C.I.A
And guess what? The C.I.A was the president.

Feels like it was overnight.

Enjoy your last, last taste of freedom.
