Is It Like Today

Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
All that he could see was Babylon
Beautiful green fields and dreams
And learn to measure the stars
But there was a worry in his heart
He said
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to know about this
Is it like today?
Then there came a day
It moved out 'cross the Mediterranean
Came to western isles and the Freek young men
And with their silver beards they laughed
At the unknown universe
They could sit and guess God's name
But they said
How could it come to this?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?
Then there followed days of Kings, Empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
He said
How could it come to this?
We've been living in a landslide!
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today?
Then there came a day, man packed up
Flew off from the planet
He went to the Moon
Now he's out in space
Hey, fixing all the problems
He comes face to face with God
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried 'bout my creation
How did it comes to this?
You 're really killing me, you know
It isn't just today?
Is it like today?
Is it like today?
Bang!
