There Is No Time

D Bm Em G A D Bm Em G A D This is no time for celebration Bm This is no time for shaking hands Em This is no time for backslapping G A This is no time for marching bands D This is no time for optimism Bm This is no time for endless thought Em This is no time for my country right or wrong G A Remember what that brought D There is no time Bm There is no time Em There is no time G A There is no time D This is no time for congratulations Bm This is no time to turn your back Em This is no time for circumlocution G A This is no time for learned speech D This is no time to count your blessings Bm This is no time for private gain Em This is the time to put up or shut up G A It won't come back this way again D There is no time Bm There is no time Em There is no time G A There is no time D This is no time to swallow anger Bm This is no time to ignore hate Em This is no time to be acting frivolous G A Because the time is getting late D This is no time for private vendettas Bm This is no time to not know who you are Em Self-knowledge is a dangerous thing G A The freedom of who you are D This is no time to ignore warnings Bm This is no time to clear the plate Em Let's not be sorry after the fact G A And let the past become our fate D There is no time Bm There is no time Em There is no time G A There is no time D This is no time to turn away and drink Bm Or smoke some vials of crack Em This is a time to gather force G A And take dead aim and attack D This is no time for celebration Bm This is no time for saluting flags Em This is no time for inner searchings G A The future is at hand D This is no time for phony rhetoric Bm This is no time for political speech Em This is a time for action G A Because the future's within reach D This is the time Bm This is the time Em This is the time G A Because there is no time D There is no time Bm There is no time Em There is no time G A D There is no time
