I live in Paradise
And its pretty nice, baby
The grass is always green
And every street is clean
I live in Paradise
And you can't beat the price here, honey
Fitting in ain't hard
With two nice cars and a well kept yard
I live in Paradise
The schools are great here, sugar
Ground stone for every nose
And the righteous here are bold
Sometimes I want to tear it all down
Sometimes I want to kick it around
Sometimes I want to break all the rules
Sometimes I want to call them all fools
I live in Paradise
And the crime rate's low, sweet heart
The straight and narrow road
We start young at growing old
I live in Paradise
But the price can seem high, darlin'
And there's a hidden space
That I don't always know how to face
Sometimes I want to break some glass
Sometimes I want to shred my free pass
Sometimes I want to shout out loud
Sometimes I want to scatter the crowd
Sometimes I want to throw some bricks
Sometimes I want get in some kicks
Sometimes I want to get some sleep
Sometimes I want to just get some sleep
I live in Paradise
And its pretty nice, baby
The grass is always green
And every street is clean
