Summer In Paradise - The Beach Boys

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

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

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

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

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

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise
