The Old Book

from Back of the line by Robin Auld

/

lyrics

I believed that the world was for the meek
and the new book served us well.
How many times I turned the other cheek

But it's the old book
yes it's the old book
It's the old book
I read from now

How does beauty survive
without the means to defend herself
Mr Big asked of Mr Lee
At the time I didn't understand the question

But it's the old book
yes it's the old book
It's the old book
I read from now

And forgiveness is down the river
and redemption's gone around the bend
Don't wring your hands, ain't no use complaining

Cos it's the old book
yes it's the old book
It's the old book
I read from now.
