LYRICS
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
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
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
In the year 7510
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 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
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

-
Cheers to those listening in 2525.
-
Remember it palting on the radio in 1969..still listening February 2024😊
-
I’m 76 and I listen to this music every day. We old people grew up in the best of times. Wish I could go back to those days !!!!

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

When I was a child of the 60s this song was so far into the future it didn't seem relevant, but things appear to be progressing so fast now that it's scary.
-
Seems like we’re ahead of schedule
-
This was the song that was playing when we took my brother to catch his transport to Nam at McCord air base!
-
2023 now and I remember this song when it was released. 'Man has taken everything this old Earth can give and he aint put back nothing' - how prophetic.
-
I'm 60. I listened to this song in the 60's, and now... here we are!
-
This was supposed to be a terrible warning, not advice.
-
Looks more like 2025 for all these predictions.
-
Hello to you guys in the year 2525 that are reading this. I hope you all are fine.
-
The idea of humanity making it to 2525 is the most optimistic thing I’ve heard in a long while.
-
Still a perfect song. Man's emphasis on technological advancement while neglecting his moral growth is stunning.
-
Dark, dark song, but I've loved it for years. Prophetic.
-
I watched Metropolis, once. Now I've seen some of the more prescient, disturbing imagery again. Always liked this song, now it's married to the perfect imagery.
-
50 years old music and 100 years old video they're a perfect match!
-
No better song can describe the times we live in right now.
-
Claus Schwab's vision for us.
