Discover the story of the song > In The Year 2525 – Ian Brown

The song talks about the future and how things will change. In the year 2525, if men are still alive and women can survive, things might be different. In the year 3535, people won't need to tell the truth because everything they think, do and say is controlled by a pill. The song talks about other years too, like 4545 and 5555, where people won't need their teeth, eyes, or even their arms and legs. In the year 6565, people won't even need husbands or wives because they can pick their sons and daughters from a glass tube. Finally, the song talks about the year 9595, where the singer wonders if man will still be alive because he's taken everything from Earth without giving back.
