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, and 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 side, You legs got nothing to do, Some machine's doing that for you. In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, Won't need no wife. You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too >From the bottom of a long glass tube. Whoa-oh-oh. In the year 7510 If God's a-coming 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 is gonna shake his mighty head. He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been" Or tear it down and start again. Whoa-oh-oh In the year 9595 I'm kinda wondering 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 throught eternal night, The twinkling of starlight, So very far away, Maybe it's only yesterday... In the year 2525 (etc...) |
"In the Year 2525 is one of the most profound prophetic songs I ever heard, and the very first day I was in class, it popped into my mind," --Chris Ferguson. In the Year 2525 predicts the end of humanity with it’s run-away technology taking over life as we know it, continued rape of the land, and finally, resulting in an apocalypse. |
