Old & New Lyrics

(excuse me. one two three one two three)

what will you say? what will you say?
what will you say if someone knocks?
and where did he go? where did he go?
there's nobody home but the door's unlocked
And I saw a slave with a bayonet
Purple shirt and an ear to the door
And I tried to save the whole wide world
But I swear that I've been there before

what is the meaning, what is the meaning
what is the meaning of your sleep?
where is the dream? where is the dream?
where is the green grass that I call my home?
I saw a slave with a bayonet
Purple shirt and an ear to the door
And I tried to save the whole wide world
but I swear that I've been there before

I hold the bricks, I hold the bricks
I hold the bricks until it's time
And I'll hold your ledge(?), I'll hold your ledge(?)
I'll hold your ledge(?) if you'll hold mine
And I saw a slave with a bayonet
Purple shirt and an ear to the door
And I tried to save the whole wide world
but I swear that I've been there before

I saw a slave with a bayonet
Purple shirt and an ear to the door
And I tried to save the whole wide world
but I swear that I've been there before
before, before, before, before, before
