Is It Like Today?

Many years ago He Looked out through a glassless window All that he could see Was Ba-bylon Beautiful green fields and dreams and learned to measure the stars but there was a worry in his heart He said How could it come to this? We're really worried about living How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this Is it like today? Oh-oh-oh Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolutions Blood just looks the same When you open the veins And 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're really living in a landslide How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this Is it like today? Oh-oh-oh Then there came a day Man, packed up, flew off from the planet He went to the moon, to the moon To, to the moon, the moon now he's out in space Hey, fixing all the problems He comes face to face with God He say How could it come to this I'm really worried about my creation How did it come to this You're really killing me you know It isn't just a day Oh-oh-oh Is it like today? Eh-oh-oh Is it like today? Oh Bang!
