Story behind the song
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...
Lyrics
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...
