22nd Century

[Verse 1]
There is no
Oxygen in the air
Men and women
They've lost their head
Ashen faces
Layers they stain
Guests and governors walk in this lane
When, when tomorrow becomes yesterday
And tomorrow becomes eternity
When the sun, when the sun goes away, the end
When love is taken and there are no more babies to be born
And there is no way
And there is every way
When there is no way
There is every way

[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
It will be, oh

[Verse 2: Kate Stables]
Twenty-first century was here and gone
And the twentieth century was the dawn
The beginning of the end was the twenty-first when the twentieth century was at an end
Nineteen-ninety was the year when the plague struck the Earth
Nineteen-eighty-eight was the year men and women struck out for freedom
And blood letting was the thing that was
People said there was no God, and there was no reason, and there was no cause
Nineteen-seventy-two was right all the way
Drums and bugles blasting all through the day
Right-wing, left-wing, middle of the road, sidewinder, back-swinger, backlash, whiplash
Race stockings, red stockings, liberation of women, liberation of men, everybody carrying a heavy load

[Chorus: All]
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
It will be, oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
Liberation of animals
Prevention of cruelty to animals from man and beasts
Flying on, and flying, flying things
Revolution of music by tree you love and lives
Sex change, change, change
Man is woman, woman is man
Even your brain is not your brain
Your heart is plastic things that can be bound
There is no more diseases that can be caught
Man became the thing that he worships
Man truly became his God
There was today that Man and Woman truly became God
Man became his God
Man became his evil
Man became his God
And then became his devil

[Chorus: All]
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
It will be, oh
Oh

[Verse 4]
Young women without money caught
Big dogs living in marble arms
Young men die in spring
Boys of seven fall in love
Give that lady fair a diamond ring
Wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, or waiting in this thing
Don't want creature
Don't want no preacher man preaching
Give your hand and take my hand
This is better than anybody's preacher man
Truth, truth is an old folk
It says seven years, seven years so I'm told
Don't sway me over, don't try to sway me over today
It's all in a day, your day will go away

[Chorus: All]
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
Tomorrow will be the twenty-second century
It will be, oh
Oh
