Patti Smith - Pastime Paradise lyrics
[Patti Smith - Pastime Paradise lyrics]
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 savior 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
Ohh, future paradise
Been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Ohh, pastime paradise
Ohh, let's start living for the future
Ohh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future ohh, future paradise
Praise to our lives living for the future
Ohh, future paradise
Shame to anyone's lives
Living in the pastime paradise
Ohh, pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future ohh, future paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future ohh, future paradise
