In the year 2525
if man is still alive
if woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain`t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain`t gonna need your teeth, won`t need your eyes
You won`t find a thing to chew
Nobody`s gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin` limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin` to do
Some machine`s doin` that for you
In the year 6565
You won`t need no husband, won`t need no wife
You`ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God`s a-coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He`ll look around Himself and say
`Guess it`s time for the judgement day`
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He`ll either say `I`m pleased where man has been`
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I`m kinda wonderin` if man is gonna be alive
He`s taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain`t put back nothing
Now it`s been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew
Now man`s reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it`s only yesterday
