Summer In Paradise

[Verse 1] Way back when, well, our master plan Was havin' fun, fun, fun as America's band Well, we came out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbara Ann Singin' of surf and sand Now when we look back over all the fun we had If our lifestyle's over now, it sure is sad We gotta get back to livin' without a care Give me sunshine, water, and an ozone layer Paradise is a state of mind Where mother nature nurtures and man is kind We need a change, now wouldn't it be nice If we could bring back summer (Summer) Get us back our summer (Summer) Summer in paradise [Chorus] (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) [Verse 2] They chop down the forests and in their haste Leave a trail of destruction and toxic waste Is leaving no one safe in their home or their habitat Can't let it go like that Too much consumption and too much greed When you consider all the people that are living in need Interdependence in this world is a natural fact And we're all under attack It's the eve of destruction, or so they say But mankind doesn't have to go that way If we all get together, we can make things right And we can bring back summer (Summer) Get us back our summer (Summer) Summer in paradise [Chorus] (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) [Verse 3] Surfers recycle now, don't you know Like everyone from California to Kokomo We're gonna keep on rocking and raising world consciousness We gotta fix this mess Looked in the future and what I saw Was a world in harmony with natural law There's trouble now, but it will be alright If we can bring back summer (Summer) Get us back our summer (Summer) Summer in paradise [Outro] (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise (Paradise) Summer in paradise, baby (Paradise) Summer in paradise
