I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
And I was born after they dropped the bomb
I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's 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?
Did children stand up all alone?
I think that you're putting me on"
I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
And I was born after they dropped the bomb
I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee
And he told me of the world that used to be
"Tell me again, how it used to be
Did birds really fly? What was TV?
Did concrete cover the land?
And what was a rock and roll band?
Tell me again, what kids used to do?
What was a dog? And what was a shoe?
Did children look different from me?
That must have been something to see"
I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond
And I was born after they dropped the bomb
I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee
And he told me of the world that used to be
"Tell me again, about sunshine and rain
What was a boat? And what was a train?
Were people as lonely as me?
And did they live in chains such as we?"
And I was born after they dropped the bomb
I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's 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
