[Verse 1]

I didn't question, I didn't know

As far as I'd seen, life was endless

When I realised I had to let go

We are mere mortals as to the rest

[Chorus 1]

It's not eternal, imperishable

While on the move

It's not eternal, interminable

Progress is the clue

[Verse 2]

I thought IBM was born with the world

The US flag would float forever

The cold opponent did pack away

The capital will have to follow

[Chorus 2]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Look at the symbols, they are alive

They move, evolve, and then they die
