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?

Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutation
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 lost 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

Vibration
Simulation

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 anyone's life living in a pastime paradise
