There Is No Time

Lou Reed - There Is No Time

This is no time for Celebration

this is no time for Shaking Heads

This is no time for Backslapping

this is no time for Marching Bands

This is no time for Optimism

this is no time for Endless Thought

This is no time for my country Right or Wrong

remember what that brought

There is no time

there is no time

There is no time

there is no time

This is no time for Congratulations

this is no time to Turn Your Back

This is no time for Circumlocution

this is no time for Learned Speech

This is no time to Count Your Blessings

this is no time for Private Gain

This is no time to Put Up or Shut Up

it won't no time to come back this way again

There is no time

there is no time

There is no time

there is no time

This is no time to Swallow Anger

this is no time to Ignore Hate

This is no time to be Acting Frivolous

because the time is getting late

This is no time for Private Vendettas

this is no time to not know who you are

Self knowledge is a dangerous thing

the freedom of who you are

This is no time to Ignore Warnings

this is no time to Clear the Plate

Let's not be sorry after the fact

and let the past become out fate

There is no time

there is no time

There is no time

there is no time

This is no time to turn away and drink

or smoke some vials of crack

This is a time to gather force

and take dead aim and Attack

This is no time for Celebration

this is no time for Saluting Flags

This is no time for Inner Searchings

the future is at head

This is no time for Phony Rhetoric

this is no time for Political Speech

This is a time for Action

because the future's Within Reach

This is the time

this is the time

This is the time

because there is no time

There is no time

there is no time

There is no time

there is no time
