Computer Magic - Is It Like Today? Lyrics

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?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this""

Is it like today? Oh, ah oh

Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolution
Blood just looks the same when you open your veins
But sometimes it was faith
Or power or reason as the cornerstone
But the furrowed brow never left his face

He said, ""How could it come to this?
We've living in a landslide
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really want to know about this""

Is it like today? Oh, ah 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 comes to this?
You'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

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