In The Year 2525 (exordium And Terminus) Songtext

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...)
