Is It Like Today - World Party

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 wanna know about this

Is it like today?

Uh, uh-uh

Then there came a day, moved

Out cross the Mediterranean

Came to rest on isles and the Greek young men

And with their silver beards they laughed

At the unknown of the universe

They could just sit and guess God’s name

But they said, (hey)

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?

Oh, oh-oh

Then there followed days of kings

Empires and revolution

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 says

How could it come to this

I’m really worried 'bout 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?

Ah

Is it like today?

Oh, Bang!

Oooh

Many years ago, he

Looked out through a glassless window

Didn’t understand, much what he saw
