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 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 Greek 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 sometijmes 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!
