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 lies
|
Everything you think do and say
|
is in the pill you took today
|
In the year 4545
|
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 hanging limp at your sides
|
Your legs got nothing to do
|
Some machine's doing that for you
|
In the year 6565
|
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 7510
|
If God's a coming
|
He oughta make it by then
|
Maybe He'll look round
|
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 wondering
|
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 10000 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 2525
|
If man is still alive
|
If woman can survive they may find
|
In the year 3535
|
