Rocker featuring a fairly elaborate and emotive arrangement. Wishful thinking in the face of modern existential threats. The clock is ticking.
Though mankind's level of civility has generally evolved, we're suffering from the fact that our technology has evolved at a faster pace, and the question now is whether our humanity has kept pace well enough to harness those beneficial technological attributes, and avoid the potentially destructive ones. Probably not. As Einstein remarked, "technology has outstripped our humanity". Nevertheless... we're not dead yet...
Young people need a visionary creed
A future to breed and we'd better take heed
I'm getting old so I've been told
But I'm aware and I still care
"Cause we're not dead yet
We're ready and set
We're not dead yet
We've seen all kinds of good deeds and crimes
Signs of the times, our light still shines
If there's a plan that I can understand
I'll lend a hand as best as I can
"Cause we're not dead yet
We're ready and set
We're not dead yet
We're as good as it gets
We live this life asking what it's for
Searching for love and we still want more
"Cause we're not dead yet
We're ready and set...
