Nina Simone - 22nd Century

There is no oxygen in the air Men and women have lost their hair Ashen faces legs that stand Ghosts and goblins walk in this land When tomorrow becomes yesterday And tomorrow becomes eternity When the soul with the soul goes away beyond When life is taken and there are no more babies born And there is no one and there is everyone 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 It will be, it will be, it will be ahh 21st century was here and gone And the 20th century was the dawn The begining of the end was the 21st When the 20th century was at an end 1990 was the year when the plagues struck the earth 1988 was the year when men and women Struck out for freedom And bloodletting was the thing that was People said there was no god And there was no reason And there was no cause 1972 was right all the way Drums and bugles
