[starlord0the0great]

[wumpscut1]

[davedavito]

[EldestVeritasia]

Veritasia Ministries FOR OPERATION OVERLORD BEGINS...GAME ON!

[lajmh]

Okay, who's going to be around to see if this will come to pass. Today, we're half way there...unfortunately.

[031000ron1]

@lajmh confusing, but only partially halfway there, the pill thing not totaly, like pills that calm people down. They can't make a pill (yet) that makes you say everything you say. The teeth thing has happened, but the eye thing still needs a few years. you still use your arms, unless your a quadraplegic, or paraplegic. They were reffering to machines that have two legs, not electric wheelchairs, Or Stephen Hawking's wheel chair. the testube thing is only half way there, because not everybody

[031000ron1]

@lajmh (continued) does it. We haven't taken everything... YET!

[arna11420]

In the year 25 25 25,

The backwards time machine still won't have arrived,

In all the world, there's only one technology,

A rusty sword for practicing proctology!

[butch1able]

Great song; I especially liked the "God ought to be here by then" line. I agree with "KidMillions" there is a lot of foresight in this song.

[few52]

aint gonna be no 2525 we all be gone weve' destroyed earth just a matter of time look around you wierd weather chaos in mid east quakes etc etc just a matter of time and god say enuff'! i take back everthing ,and to  think i reated something i thought would prosper they ruined it little do they know there is many thing'sthat ive created that was yet to see...space the final frontier

[thewaryears]

AWSOME. But, what will happen to our children ?

[ladyhawk1ironeagle2]

l love that song also, good video, check out mine let me know what you think . im very new to the internet world ....Earth ANGEL

[jaime52]

Parece la primera parte de Juanita Banana ja ja ja ja ja

[Adv2k169]

FUTURAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budweiseralltheway]

is there a other part of this song?

[61TUNER]

@Budweiseralltheway THATS THE WHOLE SONG.

[bluefinz27]

So very far away

maybe it's only yesterday...

[pathos1983]

I'll be honest, I looked up this song because of the Futurama episode, "The late Phillip J. Fry" (excellent episode)

[josehpdiadia]

fabuloso a musica de zager and evans in the year 2525...genial

[tormento24]

just amazin', every time i listen to it. I heard it the first time in the weirdest episode of "The X files" ever.

[prettymom777]

@tormento24 Yes, and this is the scariest story ever! Tothink it vame out of the 70's... sort of remindsmeof Revelations, the last book of ,y Bible.

[robikz]

@tormento24 I believe it was MillenniuM, not X Files.

[bluefinz27]

@robikz yeah it was.. i heard it there too...

gave me chills...

[Willielikesmonkeys]

Well if you wanna get geeky our sun should last about 5 billion more years...that's plenty of time to find a planet similar to earth or terriform mars or even Venus

[MrTokyoBob]

@Willielikesmonkeys um, Mars and venus are in the same solar system.

[Willielikesmonkeys]

@MrTokyoBob Think about it the song says 10,000 years the sun will last 5,000,000,000 years. That's a big gap and we could do alot by then personally I think man will have destroyed and rebuilt and destroyed and rebuilt itself many times.

[61TUNER]

@Willielikesmonkeys IT WAS MEANT MORE AS A WARNING TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES AS OUR MISTAKES ARE VISITED ON OUR PROGENY. MANY TUNES FROM THAT ERA WERE PROTESTING THE IGNORANCE/INDIFFERENCE OF WORLD GOVERNMENT.

[Coupal1]

Great video to the song, but where's the rest of the song???

[LivesForJihad]

In the year 2525...Harvest was attacked...

[thenoti1]

And god bless america (-:

[TheSandsie13]

my favorate 60's protest song.

[61TUNER]

@TheSandsie13 SOMEONE ELSE WHO REMEMBERS? SWEET.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Wasn't this used in Alien3 where the guy was cleaning the air vent shaft that got diced up by 12 feet fan!

[superbri007]

If you are waiting around for your politicians to save you, keep waiting. Time to take it into your own hands.

[Anto395Productions]

haha... snyggt lol...

[caesarea55]

obama ou christ notre planete terre est en danger au diable les politiques; sauve qui peut

[Burritoman104]

Sucks that both parties suck. Imagine if we elected a non extremist president? Bush and Obama are polar opposites. Middle grounds could be the zenith of our times. But alas who would vote for that kinda guy? I think we should elect our president by spinning a wheel of morality. Thanks Animaniacs!

[squeehunter]

SHUT THE HELL UP DAMMIT! Why does everyone have to argue about Obama or something on every single video!?

[Mr73norbs]

@squeehunter

It's Man's nature nature to Whine, Complain, fight, and to blame anything or anyone for the problems, even when untrue. Even when faced with the truth, they are blind....

What can I say....

[61TUNER]

@squeehunter SENSITIVE?

[darrin42]

@squeehunter Amen

[KidMillions]

For me the best line is: "He's taken everything this old earth can give, and he ain't put back nothin'...."

[terenas1986]

@KidMillions it kinda is the best.. but these...

"from the bottom of a long glass tube"

"won't find a thing to chew"

"some machine's doing that for you"

"in the pill you took today"

... are the most precise images of our future i think...

[LilBlkAznBeauty]

@terenas1986 yeah, it's possible. and by then people will have forgotten all of that stuff about 2011 and 2012 end of the world.but also by then, everyone that's in the world right now, won't be. the people who'd have to really worry about the end of the world is our descendants (that includes our grandkids, great grandkids, great great grandkids, ect)

[MethodLiCheerful]

im liking the music and grooves but... the lyrics just scare the hell outta me

[haydenpostovoit]

who ever made this , megadeth is awesome

[Mikosch2]

In the year 2525, if man is still alive... well I'd not count on that.

[cyberghoser1]

[davecoyle1]

[petephils]

This song was in Gentlemen Broncos

[robtherobber]

[beltschazar]

one of the best songs ever

[guydinamite]

great job !

[DAPDave]

This song is so strange.

[Mr73norbs]

@DAPDave ,

I guess you had to of lived in the 60's to understand this song. When you listen to the song, think... Some of it has come true, or becoming true....

[LollieSmith]

@Mr73norbs hey have only moved on 40 yrs since this song. shame we wont live to see..

[seyadem]

ENTERESAN VAY BE...:::)))

[bilitisjane]

Impressive ... Terrifying ... But this may be our sad reality !

[1985MarcinM]

Great! I heard this song for the first time not so long ago but I like it. And, as someone has mentioned, there also exists a cover of this song sung in Czech, which I like too.

[yomangaman]

such a prophetic song, really makes you think

[brutaldmcccp]

JAJAJA realmente una buena rola

[Nik93able]

A very good video, that says excaptly what's awaiting us... and we can't do nothing now, its too late. Thukidides, ancient greek writer, told that all will be the same, until ALL WE CHANGE...

[rushfm]

[zagor1974]

BEAR GRYLLS RULES!!!

[meeeeeeeee111]

Man has cried a billion tears? The good olde days. Hell, our national debt is 12 trillion. Man will cry a goololplex of tears before that is paid.

[DanaPyro]

@meeeeeeeee111 that's true, but saying " man will cry a googleplex of tears" doesn't sound as good. Anyways... good song.

[0nagel0]

@meeeeeeeee111 money is paper we must free our self from our own creation, build something cuz its usefull dont spend time to work to build useless and energycost things, use the same time to be happy ^^

i know im dream w'll paye anyway ...

[RedGrobo]

@meeeeeeeee111

Some far future revolution or change in human thinking will erase all the debts before they ever get paid.

[TheParamountPrincess]

@meeeeeeeee111 before whats paid?? its already spent and its already HISTORY.. its gone IOW's.

[hotelmario510]

@meeeeeeeee111 A googolplex? A googleplex to the power of a googolplex TO THE POWER of a googolplex, more like.

[DavidDDavidson1337]

my mom put this as the custom house ringtone for someone i forget who i think my dad idk but i always liked the song

[Aleksandarcox]

Hahaha, I found this song in movie TUNNEL RATS. Great song, rocks. :D 5/5

[EverLivingFire]

this is what i'm talking about

[God4577]

something that shouldn't have been made

useless

crappy use of words

koulnd't care less

shit

[61TUNER]

@God4577 INBREED. THATS THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD MAKE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON SUCH AS THIS.

[TertiusOculusOris]

I'm drunk, dammit.

[birdnerder]

Absolutley right on thanks for the post... enjoyed the truth....

[debfan74]

this song MAKES you THINK!!

[Emugasm]

Thanks for this. I can't stop watching it. Totally awesome. <3

[zeke1312]

dwik. Intelligent post! May I quote you? On 2nd thought, please make comments that have value.

[zeke1312]

Zager&Evans, Lincoln, Nebraska USA wrote and sang the song.

[talibala]

2525 the covenant-unsc war is raging on! :P

[tomin1304]

Super song, czech version is V století dvacátém devátém by Marta Kubišová.

[dwreck1971]

Note how he uses 2525, 3535, etc until he runs out of things that rhyme with five...

[silverhawkmanu]

I'm glad to see you guys are exercising your right to free speech; albeit mostly incoherent exercising.

[Ilovecatgirls]

this is at the beginning of the film called tunnel rats so catchy

[stlouie24]

AWESOME movie!

[rocker66666666]

hah yeah i just watched it to, and wanted to find this awesome tune.

[superdavehotdog]

WOW

[ednorandrewrowe]

Don't know what made me think of this song this a.m., I loved it when my friends and I were so little, that one of them insisted we'd pick our son and daughter too "from bottom of a long black SHOE" lol ! But this song shows how everyone, from unchurched to those in "church of environmentalism" KNOW that the other shoe is going to fall & God will wrap it up. But at 20 I trusted Jesus, like pilgrim in Pilgrims Progress, and MY teeth will be enjoying feast w/ Jesus & friiends at his marriage feast

[dwreck1971]

That is gaseous.

[exoticvibe7]

This song has a twist In the end...."maybe it was yesterday"....because the year Is not really 2009 right now...all different nations have different beliefs as to what the date really is today .....that's crazy.

I say only god knows.

[codexbiohazard]

No your not getting It. The future Is all ready here It a consent and as you read this It will be your present and yet in a split second your past.

[exoticvibe7]

wtf are you on?

[antideborah]

@exoticvibe7

I just think that time will reset itself, until someone gets it right.

[ImSofaKingMad]

Enjoy your day. While we're still in HARMONY (?) It will come but don't think of creepy future. When you drive the freeway, slow down, look around, enjoy your surroundings. Smile at everybody.

[kiddi1000]

is the first part norweegen?

[leiefilm]

no sweedish

[RabbitEarFran]

No, it's swedish. :)

[TheGreatVideoWatcher]

We will screw our selves up before then.  We are to stupid to protect ourselves!

[leiefilm]

ya probable rigth

[61TUNER]

@leiefilm BESONDERS?

[leiefilm]

@61TUNER come agin?

[61TUNER]

@leiefilm THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE IN A EURO COUNTRY. TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE LIVING THERE TO FIND OUT MORE THAN WHAT"THE MAN"WANT,S US TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR SITUATION. IF I,M WRONG,MY BAD.

[liveontheclassics]

This song is so true O.o I love this song because every lyric is so true ^^

[JBirks25]

great song has neone heard the ian brown version of this song ?

[cAWPerN1]

Scary lyrics :P

[TheSandman76]

Haha i like the way the pics come to the text. Nicely done! Nice video and great song!

[smydata]

damn... that song is catchy!

[84danster]

des lied ist einfach nur der hammer

[dalejrfan123]

who here thinks 6-21-2012 is really going to be the end of the world? it's starting to make sense to me.

[morehaed]

its a bunch of crap.

[NO11YOU]

If you believe it then i pity you.

[SpartanW98]

im glad i wont be seein 2525

[TheKnownSubscriber]

im not sure but...

if you watch the science channel

and you watch one of these shows

Next World

Popsci's Future of...

or whatever the one that has a 2057 in it

you will notice that some of the things

that they are coming up with is just insane!

some things are cool but others... yeah...

you will see what i mean if you watch it

[generalares]

Damn Straight friendo. I think at times we're getting just a LITTLE to advanced.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

yeah,

i think it will be a little harder to live...

i feel bad for my future children and grand children :(

[generalares]

That's if humans live to even see that bro.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

yeah...

but its only in about 50 years...

[generalares]

That's if we don't have a World War 3 before that. Think of how bad that's going to be.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

ooh...

with all the advanced weaponry

and people willing to join the military

its going to be a disaster

i hope it never happens

[generalares]

Exactly. Lets all drop and pray to whatever diety we feel made us to not let it happen. But I am very sure it's going to happen.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

yeah,

i dont understand why people have wars?

why cant we just live in peace?

[generalares]

Funny you should say that because I'm wearing my John Lennon Give Peace A Chance shirt that i haven't taken off since yesterday. He says that alot in that song and I wore it because of 9/11 yesterday. Plus it is red so it shows patriotism.

[generalares]

And to answer your question I don't know why we can't all be peaceful and live together in co-existence ATLEAST. Maybe because we have too many differences that no one is willing to accept and live iwth.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

yeah...

actually some people are more advanced than others...

as in we lived more lives and understand more

so thats why the people who don't like war had more experience in their lives.

[morehaed]

Because humans are driven to be the best at what ever they are doing. I want to be better than everyone else.

[TheKnownSubscriber]

in what?

[morehaed]

Its a type o. humans want to be better at anything they do

[TheKnownSubscriber]

i winder why that is

[TheKnownSubscriber]

whoops

i meant to say WONDER

[morehaed]

its because humans are sinful. its as simple as that

[luvrolling]

such a strong song

[poopoolar]

It's up to us to make a world which we might actually want to live in.

[TheMarez]

repubs take advantage the religously ignorant and i like them for that. because they deserve to be takin advantage of but not if it actually leads to pandering to the religous ignorance... thats why palin should and rightfully isnt in politics. dems got their bad stuff too but at least they arn't so arrogant and blatantly doing things to take advantage of people. also... i dont care about punctuation because naturally i dont care about youtube

[chewylikesit]

just listening to this kinda makes you wish you could get out there and live whats left to be lived these words coming form someone who is only 18 yet its truely sad there are those younger and will never be able to live it to see what i have seen some good and some bad i still have a ways to go in life but we never know what tomorrow holds its weird i know

[TheMarez]

repubs are to blame for everything.

Sarah Palin is pretty cute though... but still dumb as a board.

[bigguy4570]

repubs my ass both parties are to blame and Palin in no dummy Both parties need to band together and help this country and obama care is not the answer.

[thesquiz47]

HA! agreed

[christiana107]

genetic engineering is beneficial now, but when human nature takes over,well start making clones and killing them to use their body parts to keep ourselves alive. It aint gonna b machine, but real human lives- that we see as mere bags in which we store things. Man was never meant to play GOD- a dangerous rolehe is trying to take over. We are not invincible

- If we keep going like this, we will destroy urselvs. Accept Jesus, He is the only one who can save us all. accept him in ur heart ,

[Xarborizon]

I like the idea of creation without need for a man or a woman conjoining together. It'll cut down on sexually transmitted diseases, abortions and ensure a safe birth of a child. A man will never be afraid that there won't be generations of sons to carry on the name due to the uncertainties of the future. Then soon, sex will just become an option, for physical pleasure only. Not that sex is bad, of course. But there are some people that just don't want to have sex, but want the child aspect...

[clockers678t]

sooner us guys can take women out of the parent equation the better ...its medically and scientifically proved that men make the better parents and cooks and are nicer ...the facts prove this ...instead of trying to make sperm for arrogant ignorant women who are on a power trip waning to insult men ..dont they have sons , dads, grandparents? we need to learn ti make babys with no women

[Rogasoukidan]

yeah but id rather have sex with a chick :P

[Atheisthateme]

Scary how far a head this song is and what it says is going on

[Anhoffgsg9]

they are certainley right on what they are saying

[macimacs]

... Oh, my youth...i remember the good times (la belle epoque????).

[Hackerfromthe90s]

We need to keep humans humans and get rid of "The new and improved version of nature" with machines and genetic enginering.

[Hyro]

genetic engineering isn't just flatly evil. it could save all of our lives in the event of a catastrophe

[servantofLoviatar]

I agree, like most things it's how you use it that makes it beneficial or destructive.

[neubus2]

repris je crois par richard anthony qui vocale"ment n etait pas le plus mauvais et quelles 'reprises' il avait-!!!

[MegaTruthteller]

Zager and Evans were right!

[255Knights]

You guys know this song dos not takes place on Earth do you?

[goraidersndodgers]

you mean they're not talking about Earth when they say "Man has taken everything this old EARTH can give" they don't really mean EARTH?

[255Knights]

"The twinkling of star light so very far away..."

Earth means dirt... I herd it used before for another planet

[Zerginfantry]

Cept it's 'The twinkling of starlight, so very far away, maybe it's only yesterday?' It's talking about how these event seem to be taken place so far into the future, yet are happening as we speak.

[buffer545]

You should all shut up and go on with your goddamn lives.

[merrymerry22]

Everything you think,do and say

is in the pill, you took today...

[dwreck1971]

Yet, later on mankind has shed a thousand tears... How do we do this when we are on mind control pills?

And the fact that there is nothing to chew.... Seriously, nothing to chew?!? That's so stupid it makes my balls itch...

[Sierion]

(To Dwreck 1971) In my perspective, the "not having anything to chew" part, I think this implies that the resources of the Earth will be so scarce due to mankind that we will eventually use our technology to eat supplemental foods and pills, nothing real. which will connect with the other part, "mankind shedding a thousand tears", sure, the people will be on mind control pills, however *mankind* not any individual will shed it's tears at what it has become, and what it has lost.

[frogjezz]

um its a song, dont get too worked up about it.

[plazmatical1]

This song is scary...

[randompenguincheese]

ummm , i love this song when i was little , it acculay makes me cry now i realise what it means , wow , i love it still

[bane50rs]

dont want to offend anyone but why when its about "the end of days" do americans automatically start to talk about their presidents? lol. all i hear is the worlds going to end, look what obama is doing blah blah. think of the end of days like your own life. you might get runover, you might die of extreme constapation you just don't know.

i'm english and no i don't hate americans. put it like this.....every country has its dickheads its just a shame we have more than most!

[dwreck1971]

Didn't you know that most Americans think they ARE the only country in the world? Ask an average American to point to England on a map for you.... More than likely they'll point to Australia or something.....

[zitlight73]

As an American I know the average American can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground. How else can you explain Bush,Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and rap Hell most of our congressmen couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

[zaneboy321]

Its funny cause Glenn Beck Is a genius so was bush and I sware If you really like Obama after all the shit he has done then your just a fucking idiot and you need to get with it.

[zitlight73]

Thank you for making my point. You're the fucking idiot if you think Obama has done all the damage Bush and Cheney did. As far as I can see he's just trying to clean up Bush's messes. I'm not a big Obama fan but at least he speaks English.

[berner]

Heh yeah he he did help reinforce your point :)

I'm not from the U.S. so I'm not 100% familiar with all the politics and going ons but I can tell you this much, if I was a U.S. citizen, I'd be glad that of the one positive thing he's done, is to help repair the Bush brand damaging image he created of the U.S. to the rest of the world. If I had my choice over being happy with taxes over reducing the risk of being hated more so and being attacked again in the future, it would be the latter.

[koekjesbom]

@zitlight73 yeaaaaa fuck bush i love obama

[herrherman12345]

wow, glenn beck is such a genius! i mean all that crack and what not makes you nearly as smart as Plato!

[TACOINSURANCE]

You are fucking ridiculous.

Do you actually know who Glenn Beck is, or did someone just tell you about him?

He's completely ridiculous, stupid, annoying, every other possible perjorative adjective. The crocodile tears? Crocodiles are ashamed to be associated with those ridiculous displays.
