In the year 2525
If man is still alive.
If woman can survive, they may find.


In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies.
Everything you think, do and say, is in the pill you took today.


In the year 4545
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 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides.
Your legs got nothing to do.
Some machine doing that for you.


In the year 6565
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. Whoa-oh


In the year 7510
If God's a-comin, he oughta make it by then.
Maybe he'll look around himself and say.
Guess it's time for the judgment day.


In the year 8510
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. Whoa-oh


In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin if man is gonna be alive.
He's taken everything this old Earth can give.
And he ain't put back nothing.Whoa-oh



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 2525
If man is still alive.
If woman can survive, they may find.


In the year 3535 {fade}

Wow. That's horrible, but frighteningly realistic.

Hmph. U don't realise how annoying that song is if your mum has it playing as she drives along..........

No. 1 hit for the one hit wonder duo of Zager and Evans, summer of 1969.

I use to hear this song constantly on the radio up until about 1992 or so. After that, not a whole lot. And yes, it wears out it's welcome very quickly.

A lot of what's in the song is well on it way to happening, and back in '69, alot of what is in the song was nothing more than far fetched dreams in the eyes of everyone

If any of you dare, a 30 second sampler - http://cdsampler.com/mp3.cgi/130187ad.mp3

It's still not as bad as "Total Eclipse of the Heart"...

I bet that society and culture will collaspe under the inability to supply it's own needs before it ever gets that bad.

Once that happens, it will resemble (IMHO) 1946 britain (deprivation, but the people soldier on) and culture will slowly rebuild itself into something (hopefully) better. I think the degradation of culture is primarily due to the desperation of certain corporations that are struggling for mere survival under tremendous debt, and the banks that are bond too tightly to them to call it in. It can go on for a while, but there are limits to all things.

Can't say I'd be surprised. That reminds me... You should look up Playstation 3 graphics. They look pretty real.

'tis all so true. the world is going to s**ts and there ain't nuttin we can do about it. so whatever.

Have any of you guys ever read 1984 by George Orwell? Just curious...

Or Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, for that matter?

Yeah, I read Farenheit 451 in my free time during my freshman year and 1984 in my free time during my junior year. They are both great books.

no, no! the belief that we can't do anything is partly what causes the rack and ruin. there's always SOMETHING we can do, no matter how small. and lots of small things added together make big things.

depends on what issue you're talking about as to what exactly you can do. but if everyone does something small, then we CAN change things.

/me gets off her evangelical platform, now...

*Just read description of Farenheit 451* *Shudders* I wanna read that!

i would love to see some improvement but i don't think anyone can contribute because people are so separate, if i feel this way, a lot of other people do too...and if i change my mind, they're not going to because i did. and then there's all the people fighting against improvement in the world. so no wonder i'm a nihilist, i've lost my faith in this rotten globe.

i'm sposeda read 1984 but i have so many books to read and so little concentration... heh, maybe i'll get to reading that book the next time 1984 rolls around.

Did you know that 451° Farenheit is the temperature at which paper burns? I think that's where he got the title of the book from. I got about half-way through Farenheit before giving up due to other school work getting in the way. It was an optional read and I opted to start it and not finish. *sigh*

1984 was a really good book, but I didn't like it in the beginning. It was excellent once I started to understand what was going on and get over the initial fact that we had to read it for school. (Anything that I am forced to read has a bit of a prejudice against it for some reason or another.) I liked the part when Winston and Julia were caught and the Thought Police came. *shivers*

I havn't read Fahrenheit 451 but I think I'll see about getting a copy.

I did read Orwell's 1984 and when I look at today's state of affairs, there was an air of prophesy about that story. I think the date was just off by 20 years
