Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525 Lyrics

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 . . .
