Pastime Survivors

Now that you are livin’ your life
You’re so much better
They thought that you′d be weak without them
But you’re stronger
They thought that you'd be broke without them
But you’re richer
They thought that you′d be sad without them
You laugh harder

They thought you wouldn't grow without them
Now you’re wiser
Thought that you'd be helpless without them
But you’re smarter
They thought that you'd be stressed without them
But you’re chillin'
They thought that you would die without them
But you’re livin′

You’ve been spending most your lives
Livin’ in a gangsters Paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a pastime Paradise
You’ve been spending most your lives
Livin’ in a gangsters Paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a pastime Paradise

Thought you couldn′t breathe without them
You’re inhaling
They thought you couldn't see without their
Perfect vision
Thought that you would fail without them
But you’re on top
Thought it would be over by now
But you won't stop

You’ve been spending most your lives
Livin’ in a gangsters Paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a pastime Paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
