The song is "In the Year 2525" by Zager & Evans. I'm particularly interested in what the bolded lyrics mean. I must be dense or something. I've been listening to this a lot lately. I remember hearing it as a kids way back when, and it kinda freaked me out

| In the year of 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find In the year of 3535 Ain't going to need to tell the truth, can't tell no lie Everything you think, do and say Is in the pill you took today In the year of 4545 Won't need no teeth, won't need your eyes Won't find a thing to chew Nobody's gonna look at you In the year of 5555 Your arms hangin' limp at your side Your legs have nothing to do Some machine's doin' that for you In the year of 6565 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 of 7510 If G-d is commin' he should make it by then Maybe He'll look around Himself and say: "Now it's time for the Judgement day!" In the year of 8510 G-d 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 of 9595 I'm kinda wondering 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 10,000 years man has cried a billion tears For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through But through eternal night the twinklin' of starlight So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday |
