TITLE: Is It Like Today
Lyrics and Chords


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

/ G D Am Em / G D Am - / :

   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, oh, oh

   / Am Am7(addG)D Am / Am7(addG)D Am / / Am7(addG)D C - / G D Am - /

*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 of the universe
They could just sit and guess God's name, they said

   How could it come to this
   We're really worried about living
   How did it come to this
   Yeah, we really want to know about this
   Is it like today, oh, oh

Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open the veins
But 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've been living in a landslide
   How could it come to this
   Yeah, we really want to know about this
   Is it like today, oh, oh

Then there came a day Man packed up, flew off from the planet
He went to the moon, to 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 about My creation
   How did it come to this
   You're really killing me, you know
   It isn't just today, oh, oh

Is it like today, ay, oh
Is it like today, oh (bang!)
Ooh
Ahh

Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
Didn't understand much what he saw
