"In the Year 2525" - Zager & Evans

 

"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 lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today"

But all his love I know I've won

Cause third finger, left hand

That's where he placed the wedding band.

Down at place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who"
