Summer In Paradise The Beach Boys

[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
