Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Old Becomes New

As long as I've been around

To my convictions I am bound

Well here's what I've found

In the cities and towns

Life ain't nothing but a merry-go-round

You know that life never ends

So get out there with your friends

Hey what have you got to lose

But you do gotta choose

The direction in which you move

It's All Been Done Before

It's always been my belief

That everything is gonna repeat

Hey let there be no debate

Whether early or late

So the laws of history state

If you hang around long enough

You'll see that everything starts to rust

Then shine it all up til it's tip-top

And old becomes new again

It's All Been Done Before

And if you hang around long enough

And you experience really cool stuff

You'll see that old becomes new

Then new becomes old

Til old becomes new again
