In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)

Coversong originally made famous by Zager and Evans

[Space Intro]
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus[
If woman can survive, they may find
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today

[Break]
If man is still alive
[Break]
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You won’t find a thing to chew
Nobody’s gonna look at you
Your legs got nothin’ to do
Some machine’s doin’ that for you

[Instrumeal, Saxophone, Guitar Solo, Flute]

[Break]
If man is still alive
[Break]
[Verse 3]
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, She oughta make it by then
Maybe She’ll look around Herself and say
Guess it’s time for the judgment day

[Chorus]
If God’s a coming, She oughta make it by then
Maybe She’ll look around Herself and say
Guess it’s time for the judgment day
If God’s a coming, She oughta make it by then

[Break]
If man is still alive
[Break]
[Verse 4]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
They’re out of time

[End]
[Silence]
