This a song called There Is No Time
ย
There's no time for celebration
No time for shaking hands
Then, 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
Baby, there's no time
Ooh, there's 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 the time to count your blessing
No time for private gain
This is the time to put up or shut up
You know it won't be here again
Baby, there's no time
There is no time
There is no time
There is no time
ย
No time to swallow anger
No time to ignore hate
This no time for acting frivolous
And let the the past become our fate
This is no time for private vendettas
No time to not know who you are
This is the time to ignore warnings
The freedom of who you are
This is no time to turn away and drink
Or smoke some vials of crack
This is a time to gather force
Take deadly aim and attack
This is no time for celebration
No time for saluting flags
This is no time for inner searchings
You know the future is at hand
This is no time for phony rhetoric
No time for political speech
This is a time for action
And the future's within reach
Baby, there is no time
There is no time
There is no time
There is no time
