In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) Lyrics

[00:01.36] In the year 2525
[00:09.51] If man is still alive
[00:14.57] If woman can survive
[00:18.43] They may find
[00:23.53]
[00:29.00] In the year 3535
[00:33.07] Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
[00:37.05] Everything you think, do, and say
[00:40.62] Is in the pill you took today
[00:44.10] In the year 4545
[00:48.55] Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
[00:52.31] You won't find a thing to chew
[00:56.47] Nobody's gonna look at you
[01:00.01] In the year 5555
[01:04.06] Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
[01:07.98] Your legs got nothing to do
[01:11.80] Some machine's doing that for you
[01:15.27] In the year 6565
[01:19.51] Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
[01:23.03] You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
[01:27.21] From the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa, whoa
[01:33.05]
[01:38.91] In the year 7510
[01:42.78] If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
[01:46.70] Maybe he'll look around himself and say
[01:50.65] Guess it's time for the Judgement day
[01:54.45] In the year 8510
[01:58.15] God is gonna shake his mighty head
[02:02.15] He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
[02:05.98] Or tear it down and start again, whoa, whoa
[02:10.73]
[02:13.92] In the year 9595
[02:17.62] I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
[02:21.63] He's taken everything this old earth can give
[02:25.68] And he ain't put back nothing, whoa, whoa
[02:30.53] Now it's been 10, 000 years
[02:34.00] Man has cried a billion tears
[02:37.22] For what he never knew
[02:40.14] Now man's reign is through
[02:43.18] But through eternal night
[02:45.67] The twinkling of starlight
[02:48.45] So very far away
[02:51.49] Maybe it's only yesterday
[02:55.73] In the year 2525
[02:59.97] If man is still alive
[03:03.86] If woman can survive
[03:06.65] They may thrive
[03:11.03] In the year 3535
[03:15.15] Ain't gonna need to tell the truth...
[03:18.64]
