In the Year 2525

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, or 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 do
  Nobody's gonna look at you

  In the year 5555
  Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
  Your legs not nothing to do
  Some machine is 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 black tube

In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to 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's 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's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

  Now it's been 10,000 years
  Man has cried a billion tears
  For what he never knew
  Now man's reign is through
  But through the 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
  Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
  Everything you think, do or say
  Is in the pill you took today ....(fading
