IS IT LIKE TODAY?
World Party / Eliza Gilkyson added the 2nd verse about the "Greek young men".
G D Am Em
Many years ago he looked out through a glass-less window
G D Am
All that he could see was Babylon
G D Am Em
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars
G D Am
But there was a worry in his heart
Am Am7 D Am
He said, How could it come to this?
We're really worried about living
How could it come to this?
Am7 D C C C C
Yeah we really want to know about this
G D Am Em
Is it like today? Oh, ooh
G D Am Em
Then there came a day.
It moved out 'cross the Mediterranean.
Came to western isles and the Greek young men.
With their silver beards they laughed
At the unknown universe.
They could sit and guess God's name.
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?
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.
Is it like today?
<<<Musical Interlude:
G – D – Am – Em- G – D – Am repeat HOW>>>
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?
Then there came a time, 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 of 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.
Is it like today?
Is it like today?
Bang!
