In the year 2525, if man is still alive,
If woman can survive, they may find-
In the year 3535
Ain%27t 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%27t gonna need your teeth, won%27t need your eyes.
You won%27t find a thing to chew,
Nobody%27s gonna look at you.
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your side,
You legs got nothing to do,
Some machine%27s doing that for you.
In the year 6565
Ain%27t gonna need no husband, won%27t need no wife.
You%27ll pick your sons, pick your daughters too
From the bottom of a long glass tube.
In the year 7510
If God%27s a-coming he ought to make it by then.
Maybe he%27ll look around himself and say,
"Guess it%27s time for the Judgement Day."
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head.
He%27ll either say, "I%27m pleased where man has been"
Or tear it down and start again.
In the year 9595
I%27m kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive;
He%27s taken everything this old Earth can give
And he ain%27t put back nothing.
Now it%27s been ten thousand years,
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew.
Now man%27s reign is through.
But throught eternal night,
The twinkling of starlight,
So very far away,
Maybe it%27s only yesterday...
