In the year 2525

I was told about this song and thought I'd share it with ya'll. Not sure if its in the right forum so please move if needed.




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 . . .

I have always loved this song from way back when I was a young lad. Thanks for posting. It is indeed a groovy way of looking at the future.

Thank you for that!
It's been years since I heard that song. I always loved it.
Stuff is happening exponentially faster than in the song though.
If we're still here, I wonder what those years will be like, 3535, 4545, etc.

thanks for the song buddy i love it! star and flag

This is such a great song. I haven't heard it in years. Thanks for posting. S&F!

A british band called Visage also did a version of this.
For those who dont know , one of the members of visage was Midge Ure who then went onto to play guitar and sing in Ultravox before organising Live Aid with Bob Geldof

heres the Visage version ----- www.youtube.com...

complete with vocoders and a still from the anime classic " ghost in the shell "
