I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
That I was born after they dropped the bomb
I dreamed that I was sitting on my fathers knee
And he told me of the world that used to be

Tell me again how it used to be
Did grass really grow?
And what was a tree?
Did rain really fall from the sky?
What a shame that it all had to die
Tell me about the automobile
How did it run?
And what was a wheel?
Could children stand up all alone?
I think that your putting me on

I dreamed that I was sitting on my fathers knee
And he told me of the world that used to be

Tell me again
How it used to be
Did birds really fly?
And what was TV?
Did concrete cover the land?
And what was a Rock
