This old world's a-gettin' heavy
These old times are gettin' hard
You might see a-somethin' happen
If you look out in your yard

You might see the old world vanish
You might see the sun go down
You must give yourself a lesson
Stop and turn yourself around

It's gotta be soon
So let it cool awhile
Slow down easy style
And you'll be doin' alright
'Cause you love

This old world it needs a-paintin'
These old walls are gettin' thin
There's a lot that needs a-fixin'
You can help us all begin

We'll remove the rust and tarnish
From the hearts of everyone
Hand in hand we'll stand together
Take a look at what we've done

It's gotta be soon
So let it cool awhile
Slow down easy style
And you'll be doin' alright
'Cause you love
