	In the year 25-25,	if a man is still alive

	C	B7
	If woman can survive they may	find

	Em	D
	In the year 35-35,	ain't gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies;

	C	B7
	Everything you think, do and say	is in the pill you took today.

In the year 45-45, ain't gonna need no teeth won't need your eyes.

You won't find a thing to chew nobody's gonna look at you.

In the year 55-55 your arms are hanging limp at your side.

Your legs got nothing to do, some machines doin' that for you.

	In the year 65-65	ain't gonna need no husband won't need no wife.

	C#	C7
	You'll pick your sons pick your daughters too	from the bottom of a long glass tube.

In the year 75-10 if god is comin' he oughta make it by then.

Maybe he'll look around himself and say: "Now it's time for the judgement day!"

In the year 85-10 god is gonna shake his mighty hand.

He'll either say: I'm pleased where man has been! Or tear it down and start again!

	F#m	E
	In the year 95-95	I'm kind a wond'ring if man is still alive.

	D	C#7
	He's taken everything this old earth could give	and he ain't put back nothin'!

Now it's been ten thousand years man has cried a billion tears.

For what he never knew now man reign is through!

But through eternal night the twinklin' of starlight

so very far away maybe it's only yesterday.
