In the Year 2525 – Zager and Evans

In the year 2525

If man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find

/ Em / D / C B7 /

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 hanging limp at your sides

Your 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 son, pick your daughter too

From the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa-oh

In the year 7510

If God’s a-comin’ He oughta make it by then

Maybe He’ll look around Himself and say

Guess it’s time for the judgment 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

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 nothin’, whoa-oh

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

In the year 2525

If man is still alive

If woman can survive, they may find

In the year 3535 {fade}
