Patti Smith - Pastime Paradise lyrics

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 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
