This Old World

When the silence starts to deafen

Drownin' out the words you speak

Lost and find your place in heaven

Always seems just out of reach

I know you're watchin' and you're waiting

This time the wheel must turn

Too slow and love will turn to hating

I must beg to disagree

This old world ain't never gonna learn

Give me something to believe in

Every dream is precious now

Must give up our selfish scheming

Or this will be our final vow

I know you're watchin' and you're waiting

This time the wheel must turn

Too slow and love will turn to hating

I must beg to disagree

This old world ain't never gonna learn

I know you're watchin' and you're waiting

This time the wheel must turn

Too slow and love will turn to hating

I must beg to disagree

This old world ain't never gonna learn

Yeah, ain't never gonna learn

Oh yeah

This old world ain't never gonna learn
