[Chorus]
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 of their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

[Bridge]
Tell me who of them will come to be?
How many of them are you and me?

[Verse 1]
Dissipation
Race relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutation
Miscreation
Confirmation
To the evils of the world

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Tell me who of them will come to be?
How many of them are you and me?

[Verse 2]
Proclamation
Race relations
Consolation
Integration
Verification
Revelation
Acclamation
World salvation
Vibration
Stimulation
Confirmation
To the peace of the world

[Chorus]
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 (We shall overcome)
Living in a pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives (We shall overcome)
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives (We shall overcome)
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyone's life (We shall overcome)
Living in a pastime paradise
