In the year twenty-five
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 09:40 PM by The Lone Liberal
In the year twenty-five
twenty-five if man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find.
In the year thirty-five thirty-five
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 forty-five forty-five
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 fifty-five fifty-five your arms are hangin' limp at you side

Your legs got nothin' to do
some machines doin' that for you.
In the year sixty-five sixty-five
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 seventy-five ten
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 eightyfiveten 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 ninetyfive ninetyfive
I'm kind a wond'rin' if man is gonna be alive

He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothin'.
Now it's been tenthousand 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
In the year thirtyfive thirtyfive . . .


Please compare and contrast with J.S. Bach’s Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott.

Just wanted to see that all our college students are getting mentally prepared for finals.

"You get your mind straight or you spend a night in the box."

1. This is one of my favorite songs
because I picture myself in Viet Nam on my bunk listening to it. :)
