In the year 2525 If Slaters still alive If Jimenez can survive They may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need tell no lies Everything you think, do, and say Is in the pill they took today
In the year 4545 Ain't gonna need the valley, or the O2 You won't find a flare to throw Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555 Jacko's arms are hanging limp at his side His legs got nothing to do Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no Cash, won't need no Prothero Powell will pick our fullback, pick our forward too From the bottom of a long glass tube' Whoooa
In the year 7510 If a buyers a-comin' he ought to make it by then Maybe he'll look around himself and say Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510 The new owners gonna shake his mighty head then He'll either say I'm pleased where Charlton's been Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595 I'm kinda wondering if our club's gonna be alive Jimmez' taken everything this old club can give And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years Charlton fans have cried a billion tears For what we never knew Now Charltons reign is through But through eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday

If Slaters still alive
If Jimenez can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill they took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need the valley, or the O2
You won't find a flare to throw
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Jacko's arms are hanging limp at his side
His legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no Cash, won't need no Prothero
Powell will pick our fullback, pick our forward too
From the bottom of a long glass tube' Whoooa
In the year 7510
If a buyers a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
The new owners gonna shake his mighty head then
He'll either say I'm pleased where Charlton's been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if our club's gonna be alive
Jimmez' taken everything this old club can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years
Charlton fans have cried a billion tears
For what we never knew
Now Charltons reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
