In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)
Rick Evans / Zager & Evans (1968)
| Em | D |
| 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. | |
| Fm | Eb |
| 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. | |
