Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise lyrics

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a pastime paradise

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a pastime paradise

They've been wasting most their lives

Glorifying days long gone behind

They've been wasting most their days

In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

Tell me 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

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a future paradise

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a future paradise

They've been looking in their minds

For the day that sorrow's gone from time

They keep telling of the day

When the Savior of love will come to stay

Tell me who of them will come to be

How many of them are you and me

Proclamation of Race Relations

Consolation

Integration

Verification of Revelations

Acclamation

World Salvation

Vibrations

Simulation

Confirmation.......to the peace of the world

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a pastime paradise

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a pastime paradise

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a future paradise

They've been spending most their lives

Living in a future paradise

We've been spending too much of our lives

Living in a pastime paradise

Let's start living our lives

Living for the future paradise

Praise to our lives

Living for the future paradise

Shame to anyones lives

Living in a pastime paradise
