Music & lyrics: Rick Evans
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 are hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine 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, woh-wow.
In the year 7510,
if God's a-coming, He oughta make it by then.
Maybe He will 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, woh-wow.
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 putting back nothing, woh-wow.
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
In the year 2525,
if man is still alive,
if woman can survive, they may find ....
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 are hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine 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, woh-wow.
