(background)
Pastime Paradise! Pastime Paradise!
(1)
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been wasting most their time
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
(2)
Dissipation Race Relations
Consolation Segregation
Dispensation Isolation
Exploitation Mutilation
Mutations Miscreation
(3)
Confirmation……to the evils of the world
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been looking in their minds
For the days 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 Consolations
Integration Verification of Revelations
Acclamation World Salvation
Vibrations Stimulation
(4)
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 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 lives
Living in a pastime paradise
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
In “ Chant and Be Happy ” where Mukunda Goswami and George Harrison have a conversation about Harinama in Chapter 2, Harrison makes a reference to Stevie Wonder’s “Pastime Paradise” and the chanting of Hare Krsna that takes place. The RKC radio archives from Italy included this song in their song database. This song was recorded and released in 1976.
