Lyrics
I didn't question, I didn't know
As far as I'd seen life was endless
When I realized I had to let go
We are mere mortals
As to the rest
It's not eternal, imperishable
While on the move
It's not eternal, interminable
Progress is the clue
I though IBM was born with the world
The US flag would float forever
The cold opponent did pack away
The capital will have to follow
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh yes, it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The dinosaur law
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh yes, it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The dinosaur law
Look at the symbols, they are alive
They move evolve and then they die
Writer(s): Timothy John Gane, Laetitia Sadier
