In The Year 2525 lyrics

IN THE YEAR 2525

Ten years after





In the year twentyfive

twentyfive if man is still alive



If woman can survive they may find.

In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive

Ain`t gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies



Ev`rything you think do and say is in the pill you took today.

In the year fortyfive fortyfive

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 fiftyfive fiftyfive your arms are hangin` limp at you side



Your legs got nothin` to do

some machines doin` that for you.

In the year sixtyfive sixtyfive

Ain`t gonna 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 seventyfiveten

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 eightyfiveten 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 ninetyfive ninetyfive

I`m kind a wond`rin` if man is gonna be alive



He`s taken everything this old earth can give

And he ain`t put back nothin`.

Now it`s been tenthousand 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.

In the year twentyfive twentyfive if man is still alive

In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive . . .
