Zager and evans lyrics in the year 2525 exordium and terminus lyrics

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
