F                      Dm                       E7           Am
 They've been spending most their lives, living in a Pastime Paradise.
F                      Dm                       E7           Am
 They've been spending most their lives, living in a Pastime Paradise.

F                     Dm                     E7              Am
 They've been wasting most their time, Glori-fying days long gone behind.
F                     Dm
 They've been wasting most their days,
      E7                     Am
In re-membrance of ignorance oldest praise. Tell me...


[Chorus 1]

F       Dm         E7      Am
 Who of them, will come to be?
       F     Dm        E7      Am
How ma-ny of them, are you and me?

      F      Dm       E7      Am
Dissi-pation, race re-lations.
      F      Dm     E7     Am
Conso-lation, segre-gation.

       F           Dm             E7           Dm
Dispen-sation, iso-lation, exploi-tation, muti-lation.
   F               Dm            E7             Am
Mu-tations, miscre-ation, confir-mation, to the evil's of the world.


[Verse 2]

F                      Dm                       E7            Am
 They've been spending most their lives, living in the future paradise.
F                      Dm                       E7            Am

F                     Dm
 They've been looking in their minds,
        E7                Am
For the day that sorrow's gone from time.
F                  Dm
 They keep telling of the day,
         E7                   Am
When the Saviour of love will come to stay. Tell me...


[Chorus 2]

F       Dm         E7      Am
 Who of them, will come to be?
       F     Dm        E7      Am
How ma-ny of them, are you and me?

       F      Dm          E7      Am
Procla-mation, of Race Re-lations,
      F      Dm    E7      Am
Conso-lation, inte-gretion.

       F               Dm             E7                Am
Verifi-cation, of Reve-lations, accla-mation, world sal-vation.
   F               Dm             E7             Am
Vi-brations, stimu-lation, confir-mation, to the peace of the world.

 Let's start living our lives, living for, the future paradise.

 Praise to our lives, living for, the future paradise.

 Shame to anyone's lives, living in the pastime paradise.
