Old World The Modern Lovers

Well, the old world may be dead
Our parents can't understand
But I still love my parents
And I still love the old world

Oh, I had a New York girlfriend
And she couldn't understand how I could
Still love my parents
And still love the old world

So I told her
"I want to keep my place in the old world
Keep my place in the arcane
'Cause I still love my parents
And I still love the old world"

Alright
I say old world
I say old world
I say

Well, I see a '50's apartment house
Bleak in the morning sun
But I still love the '50's
And I still love the old world
