"The World Beyond" lyrics

"The World Beyond"
(originally by Swamp Dogg)

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 papa'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 your putting me on

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 papa'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 & Roll band?

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 papa's knee
And he told me of the world that used to be
