Перевод песни Patti Smith - Pastime Paradise*

(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

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 sorrows gone from time
Keep telling of the day
When the savior of love will come to stay

Who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation
Of race relations
Immigration
Integration
Verification
Of relations
Acclamation
World salvation
Vibrations
Stimulation
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
Ooh future paradise
(They)’ve been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Ooh pastime paradise

Ooh
Let’s start living for the future
Ooh future paradise
Let’s start living our lives
Living for the future
Ooh future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future
Ooh future paradise
Shame to anyone’s lives
Living in the pastime paradise
Ooh pastime paradise
Let’s start living our lives
Living for the future
Ooh future paradise
Let’s start living our lives
Living for the future
Ooh future paradise
