ZAGER AND EVANS - IN THE YEAR 2525

In The Year 2525 Lyrics

Artist: Zager & Evans

In the year twentyfive twentyfive
if man is still alive
if woman can survive they my 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 hangin' limp at your sides,
your legs got nothin' to do,
some machine's doin' that for you.
In the year sixtyfive sixtyfive
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 seventyfive ten
if God's acomin'
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 eightyfive ten
God is gonna shake his mighty head,
he'll eighter say,
"I'm pleased where man has been."
Or tear it down, and start again.
In the year ninetyfive ninetyfive
i'm kind a wonderin'
if man is gonna be alive.
He's taken ev'rything
this old earth can 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'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
if woman can survive they may find.

Great job on the video! With the way it's going....it's all going to happen a lot sooner than later. But, what do I know...This song has always intrigued me. Does anyone use that word 'intrigue' anymore?....lol!

[nick4alex]

God,i LOVE this song!!!

[TwistedSpeech]

It's pretty cool a #1 hit was recorded in my home town of Odessa, Texas. The song is really good actually and the lyrical content is just wild. : )

OLD SONG FROM THE FUTURE

[03Neji25]

After i died...i wanna live like a ghost and watch humanity how destroy our World ˇˇ

[TragicallyNothing]

@stevepwood They were completely right about alot of things. They just got the dates wrong.

[TragicallyNothing]

We can make our own kids now. xD

[asghanim]

FINALLY I FOUND THIS FUCKERS! Very HAPPY!

[Shavarnarak]

I like the song (and it's surprisingly predictive with that glass tube thing.) But the dates are off.

2525 probably already won't have a society anymore, the side effects of overpopulation will probably make society collapse in about a century or two. It's already starting really.

That or it'll have a very dystopic society without much in the way of nature, billions of starving people suffering epidemics and a small elite that's a-ok.

[stevepwood]

This song is over 40 years old. Doesn't it feel like we're headed in this direction? Wow...
