MANY YEARS AGO
HE LOOKED OUT
THROUGH A GLASSLESS WINDOW
ALL THAT HE COULD SEE
WAS BA...BYLON
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
OH... OH-OH
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
WANNA 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
NOW HE'S OUT IN SPACE
HEY
FIXIN' 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 TODAY
OH... OH-OH
IS IT LIKE TODAY
EH... OH-OH
IS IT LIKE TODAY
OH... BANG!
OOH... OH...
MANY YEARS AGO
HE LOOKED OUT
THROUGH A GLASSLESS WINDOW
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
MUCH WHAT HE SAW
