As you are I once was - as I am you will be
All over the world are people like you and me
A bunch of sour apples on the old family tree
And billions of kids - Im afraid theyre all yours and mine
But all we have in common is the way that we whine
As you are I once was - as I am you will be
Theyre mad at the world but the world doesnt care
Who swims in her water who breathes all her air
Mother earth didnt burn when the dinosaurs all left home
But they left a little note written down with their bones
As you are I once was - as I am you will be
Farewell to modern warfare - hello eternity
Ive got some good news bad news
At the end Im you and you are me
Dont be a sore loser - youre not even lost
So crawl out of your bunker climb down from your cross
cause the answer is love to the question were all too stupid to ask
