We all were there as we are now 
 A promise of freedom 
 Placed beneath our brow 
 Through the sweat of our hands 
 It slipped away 
 We've got to get it back 
    The scene is in focus 
 Perpetual motion   
 The hands of knowledge 
 Have it under control 
 Our rebellious volition 
 Has taken its toll 
 We seek the truth 
 Then throw it away 
 We're such a bitter race   
 He set the world in motion 
 Perpetual motion 
 The wind and the ocean 
 Perpetual motion 
 Had to be put in motion 
 God is the quotient 
 God is the quotient
