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 - i'm afraid they're 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 They're mad at the world but the world doesn't care Who swims in her water who breathes all her air Mother earth didn't 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 I've got some good news bad news At the end i'm you and you are me Don't be a sore loser - you're not even lost So crawl out of your bunker climb down from your cross
