Lyrics
Paradise
Refers to an ideal or perfect place or state
Whatcha doin' tonight? (Whatcha doin', whatcha doin')
Asking what someone is doing tonight
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Noting that the world is in a chaotic state
Young Americans listen when I say
Addressing young Americans, advising them to listen
There's people puttin' us down
People are criticizing or belittling them
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
Others claim they have become lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Admitting that times have been better in the past
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Rejecting short-term profits gained unscrupulously
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
Referring to deceptive plans for quick money
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
Urging for patient, steady progress
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun
Calling for honest, hardworking individuals
So whatcha doin' tonight (whatcha doin', whatcha doin')
Reiterating the question about plans for the night
I got faith in our generation
Expressing belief in their generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
Encouraging unity and forward-thinking attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight
Not seeking conflict
But I know with determination
Believing that determination can overcome challenges
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules
Challenging those who manipulate or break the rules
Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
Urging to take pride and be discerning
Big shots, crackpots bending the rules
Criticizing powerful or eccentric figures
A fair shot here for me and for you
Advocating for fairness for everyone
Knowing that we can't lose
Confident in the ability to succeed
And we'll be rockin' in paradise
Repeated chorus emphasizing celebration and enjoyment
Rockin' the paradise tonight
-Rockin' in paradise
-Rockin' the paradise tonight
-Tonight, tonight
-Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
-Big shots, crackpots bending the rules
-A fair shot here for me and for you
-Knowing that we can't lose
-And we'll be rockin' in paradise
-Rockin' the paradise tonight (you know we're rocking in paradise)
-Rockin' in paradise (you know we're rocking tonight)
-Rockin' the paradise tonight (yeah we gnona rock)
-Rockin' in paradise (rock, rock, rock, rock, in paradise)
-Rockin' the paradise tonight
-Rockin' in paradise
-Rockin' the paradise tonight (come on, come on)
Encouraging participation and enthusiasm
