22nd Century

Lyrics

There is no oxygen in the air Men and women that lost their hair Ashen faces, legs that stand Ghosts and goblins walk in this land Then today becomes yesterday And tomorrow becomes eternity When the soul, when the soul goes way beyond When life is taken and there are no babies born When there is no one, and there is everyone Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century It will be, it will be, it will be... Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah The 21st Century was here and gone And 20th Century was the dawn The beginning of the end was the 21st When the 20th Century was at an end 1990 was the year when the plague struck the earth 1988 was the year when men's stuck up for freedom And blood letting was the thing that was [?] People said, people said there was no cause, there was no reason and there was no cause 1972 was right all the way Drums and bugles blasting all through the days Right wing, left wing, middle of the road, sidewinder, backswinger, backlash, whiplash Race stockings [?], liberation of women, liberation of man, everybody carrying a heavy load Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century It will be, it will be, it will be... Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Liberation of animals, prevention of cruelty to animals, man and beast Flying and unflying things Revolution of music Poetry, love and life Sex changing, changing, changing Man is woman, woman is man People, your brain is not your brain Your heart is a plastic thing that can be bought There are no more diseases that can be caught Man became everything he worshipped Man truly became his god That was the day that man and woman surely became bored Man become as good, and man became as evil Man became as god, and man became as devil Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century It will be, it will be, it will be... Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Young women with their funny cars [?] Big dogs, big dogs, big dogs living in marble lofts Young men, young men die in the spring Boys of seven falling in love Get their lady fair [?] a diamond ring Wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding You know a wedding ain't a thing Don't want no preacher man Don't want no preacher man preaching Give me your hand, then take my hand This is better than a preacher man The truth, the truth is now unfold Seven years, seven years, so I am told Don't swing me over Don't try to swing me over to your day Because, because your day, your day, your day will go away Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century It will be, it will be, it will be... Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century Tomorrow will be the 22nd Century
