Is It Like Today?

Is It Like Today? - World Party

Written by：Wallinger

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 uuh

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

Uh uuh

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

Uh uuh

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

Uh uuh

Is it like today

Eh aah

Is it like today

Oh bang

Oooh aah

Many years ago

He looked out through a glassless window

Didn't understand much what he saw
