Zager and Evans - In The Year 2525 lyrics

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 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

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.......
