Old World New World Lyrics
Natives wearing turquoise and silver
Dirty dogs barking in the distance
Ooooh people of a thousand tongues
I'm learning the primitive rights
I'm doing as the Roman's do
Mt Kalais to Mt Everest
Then down to river Ganges
Ooooh to follow your mighty past
We're learning the primitive rights
We're doing as the Roman's do
Old world new world
I know nothing
But I'll keep listening
City's tumble into the ocean
City's getting built in the sky
Ooooh now we're talking digital
We're learning the primitive rights
We're doing as the Roman's do
Millions playing at monopoly
Rolling the dice of their life
Ooooh dancing and shaking hands
We're learning the primitive rights
We're doing as the Roman's do
Old world new world
I know nothing
But I'll keep listening
I know nothing
Grow old look wise
Never knowing till I die
But I'll keep listening
I'll keep listening

Ooooh dancing and shaking hands

But I'll keep listening
Grow old look wise
Never knowing till I die

This song quickly rose to being one of my two best-loved songs from the album. Along with "Don't Change", this was INXS at their finest.
Recently my favorie song... Time passes by through the ages but human condition is still the same and people struggle with the same problems, they still don't understand the meaning of love and death, all relligions try to explain something but you will never know the truth "till you die".... but "you can listen", scout around and try to understand...
