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
|
