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 lie |
|
Everything you think, do and say |
|
Is in the pill you took today |
|
In the year 4545 |
|
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 5555 |
|
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides |
|
Your legs got nothin' to do |
|
Some machine's doin' that for you |
|
In the year 6565 |
|
You won't 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-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 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 |
|
In the year 9595 |
|
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive |
|
He's taken everything this old earth can give |
|
And he ain't put back nothing |
|
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 |
