This track from Exuma’s third album really stands out as belonging to its own category – a largely improvised sci-fi folk epic. It does not have many parallels even within Exuma’s discography, although “Andros Is Atlantis Rising” could perhaps be seen the mythic-utopian response to this futuristic-d...
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 begging 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 struck 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 though the days
Left wing, ring wing, middle of the road, sidewinder, backswinger, backlash, whiplash
Race stockings [?], liberation of women, liberation of men, 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, men 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
