From the day that we were born We've been heading down a track Sometimes it's made for good Sometimes for bad And if we look behind us There's a wave coming down Carrying us forward to a new age (What about the world?) What about the world around us? (What about the world? What about the age?) How can we fail to see? (What about the world?

What about the world around us? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (What about the world? What about the age?) How can we fail to see? (What about the world? Ahh) And now that our fathers have gone (ahh) And we've been left to carry on What about the age of reason? (What about the world?) What about the world around us? Oh yeah (What about the world? What about the age?) How can we fail to see? (What about the world? Ahh) And now that our fathers have gone (ahh) And we've been left to carry on What about the age? (What about the world around us?) (What about the world? What about the age?) How can we fail to see? (What about the world? Ahh) And now that our fathers have gone (ahh) And we've been left to carry on What about the age Of reason?
