Lou Reed – There Is No Time lyrics
This is no time for Celebration
This is no time for Shaking Hands
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 the time to Put Up or Shut Up
It won't 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 hand

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
