This song was written in the 60's by I dont know who, but I have heard it played. That person just about hit everything on the nail with things happening. What do you think about it?

ZAGER AND 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 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 chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got not nothing to do
Some machine is 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
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement 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
In the year 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 the 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
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....(fading...)

Cool, eh?
You've got the title right (it is subtitled "Exordium & Terminus") and was written and performed by the band Zager and Evans in 1969. It's pretty incredible today.

Whoa=) That's pretty right on.

Zager and evans - in the year 2525 yes it is an eery tune. The first time I heard it was back in the early '70's I was just a kid and the song scared me with it's haunting melody and lyrics. Test tube babies, machines and computers doing work for you. It still does. The words are pretty self explanitory.
