En el año 2525

"My way" es el último trabajo de Ian Brown, la sin par voz de los Stone Roses. El Mono parece recuperar el buen pulso en esta colección tras haber dado algún paso en falso en los últimos años. En el cuarto corte de su nuevo disco se permite hacer una versión del duo de Lincoln (Nebraska) Zager & Evans. "In the year 2525" fue el único éxito de este grupo, con el que se auparían al número uno de las listas tanto americanas (durante seis semanas) como británicas en el año 1969. La canción es toda una oda apocalíptica sobre los peligros de los avances tecnológicos y la deshumanización del planeta. 40 años contemplan esta premonición con la que es probable que se quedaran cortos. Opinad vosotros mismos.

In the Year 2525

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 lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today.

In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you.

In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you.

In the year 6565
You won't 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-coming, He oughta 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 wonderin' 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 ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew
Now man's reign is through.

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away.
