Goofy Artistic Coincidence?

Here are the lyrics to an obscure Rolling Stones song called "2000 man" written in 1967. What made these guys think like this? (besides the drugs) It's kinda spooky, in the current context. Obviously, Copyright 1967 - Jagger/Richard, reprinted without permission:

Well my name is a number, a piece of plastic film, and I grow tiny flowers in my little window sill.

Don't you know I'm the 2000 Man? And my kids they just don't understand me at all...

Well my wife still respects me, I really misused her, and I'm having an affair with a random computer.

Don't you know I'm the 2000 Man? And my kids they just don't understand me at all...

Oh Daddy, Be proud of your planet, Oh Mommy, be proud of your sun.

Oh Daddy, is your brain still flashing, Like it did when you were young? Or did you come down crashing? Seeing all the things you've done? Oh, it's a big put on.

Oh Daddy, Be proud of your planet, Oh Mommy, be proud of your sun.

And you know who's the 2000 Man? And your kids they just won't understand you at all...

This if from the album "Their Satanic Majesties Request"

That's really prophetic! And who would of ever thunk that a group like the Rolling Stones, and their album with Satan in it's name would sing a song 32 years ago and have it ring so true!
