This is not a monument
This is not a holy writ
Pull my photo from the sun
To make way for the coming one
I am not an innocent
This is not an accident
In the rosy gloom of youth
Every moment has its truth
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away
There is nothing I can say
That is not a cliché
Love is not original
It's not irreplaceable
You are not the only one
Carrying a loaded gun
This is not an attitude
That looks very good on you
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away
