In The Year 2525 — текст песни (Zager and Evans)

In the year twentyfive
twentyfive if man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find.
In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive
Ain`t gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies

Ev`rything you think do and say is in the pill you took today.
In the year fortyfive fortyfive
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 fiftyfive fiftyfive your arms are hangin` limp at you side

Your legs got nothin` to do
some machines doin` that for you.
In the year sixtyfive sixtyfive
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 seventyfiveten
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 eightyfiveten 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 ninetyfive ninetyfive
I`m kind a wond`rin` if man is gonna be alive

He`s taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain`t put back nothin`.
Now it`s been tenthousand 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 twentyfive twentyfive if man is still alive
In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive . . .
