Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day   I got problems of my own on the way   So look you now, where the locusts abound   Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground      Vibrations, are burning my hands   Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands   Defending the need, with a silent scream   For another time, for another dream      Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns   We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation   It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution   Send me down a simple solution now      No cheap, clean, is gonna wash away my blues   I need a real good friend, he's gonna give me some clues   The one on the cross, he had it boss he was really gonna spread the news   But the destruct mutt, he's back in business he ain't about to lose      Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and spray guns   We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation   It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution   Send me down a simple solution now      And the price for life   Is one more run on that chicken wire   As the hero returns, with eyes of fire   To another man to man, sit down you man      Old man don't tell me what you did in your day   I've got problems of my own on the way   So look you now, where the locusts abound   Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground      Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns   We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation   It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution   Send me down a simple solution now
