Pastime Paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been wasting most their lives
Glorifying days long gone behind
Been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance, oldest praise
Who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me?
Dissipation, race relations
Consolation, segregation
Dispensation, isolation
Exploitation, mutilation
Mutations, miscreation
Confirmation to the evils of the world
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrow's gone from time
Keep telling of the day
When the saviour of love will come to stay
Who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me?
Proclamation of race relations
Immigration, integration
Verification of relations
Acclamation, world salvation
Vibrations, stimulation
Confirmation to the peace of the world
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Oh, future paradise
Been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Oh, pastime paradise
Oh, let's start living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Shame to anyone's lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Oh, pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been wasting most their lives
Glorifying days long gone behind
Been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance, oldest praise
Who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me?
Dissipation, race relations
Consolation, segregation
Dispensation, isolation
Exploitation, mutilation
Mutations, miscreation
Confirmation to the evils of the world
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrow's gone from time
Keep telling of the day
When the saviour of love will come to stay
Who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me?

Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
Oh, future paradise
Been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Oh, pastime paradise
Oh, let's start living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Shame to anyone's lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Oh, pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future
Oh, future paradise
