IN THE YEAR 2525
Zager & Evans
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 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 hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' 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 Woh-O-Woh
(KEY CHANGE – ½ Step up)
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 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 woh oh
(KEY CHANGE – ½ Step up)
In the year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's takin everything this old earth can give
F7 Bbm (strum only once)
and he ain't put back nothin woh oh
(very slowly - strum each cord once)
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
(moderately fast)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find ……… and fade.
