World Party - Is it like today?

1993 Karl Wallinger(Polygram Music)

Many years ago, hey, looked out through a glassless window,
All that he could see, was Babylon,
Beautiful green fields, and dreams and long to measure the stars,
But there was a worry, it is hard, he said,

How could it come to this?,
I'm really worried about living,
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I'm really want to know about this,

Is it like today? Oh, oh oh,
Then there came a day, moon, out cries the Mediteranian,
Came to Winstone Isles, and Greek , young man,
With their silver beards, they laughed at the unknown of the universe,
They could just sit and guess, Gods 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 wanted to know about this,

Is it like today? Oh, oh oh,
Then there followed days, kings, empires and revolutions,
Blood just looks the same, when you open, the veins,
Sometimes it was faith, power, and reason as the cornerstone,
But the furrow 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 wanted to know about this,

Is it like today? Oh, oh oh,
Then there came a day, man, packed up and flew off from the planet,
He went to the moon, the moon,
Now he's out in space, hey, fixing all the problems,
As he comes face to face, with God,
He says,

How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about my creation,
How could it come to this?
Your're really killing me you know,

It isn't just today? Oh, oh oh,
Is it like today? Oh, oh oh,
Is it like today? Oh, oh oh,
Ooooooooooo.....ooohh etc etc..
Many years a go, he looked out through a glassless window,
Didn't understand, much, about what he saw.
