The Fall - Wise Ol' Man

The wise old man all and around
He was fair and just
His wisdom ten thousand miles

Wise old man wise old man

Wisdom get you out, baby!

On the bus the hill folk
Remove ear plugs
Sorrow he's proud (Wise old man) to repulse

Wise old man can get you out!

Wise old man wise old man
Wise old man his wisdom

He wasn't seen in the hareem
In fact he was only nineteen
Wise old man (Wise old man) didn't exist
Wise old man (Wise old man)
He has butcher's face

Old man, wisdom
And a hero's coat (Wise old man)

Wise old man (Wise old man)
Wise old man (Didn't exist)
Wise old man (He wasn't seen)
Wise old man (In a hareem)
Wise old man (Ah ah ah)
Wise old man (Wise old man)

He went to the butcher

Wise old man
Wise old man (He lived with us there)
Wise old man

Wisdom wise man
He went to the butcher
Wise old man (Didn't exist)
He went to the butcher
Wise old man (Didn't exist) wise old man
