           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


[Chorus]

            D
There is no time
            Bm

           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

[Verse 3]

           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

There is no time
            Em
There is no time
            G    A
There is no time


[Verse 4]

           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


[Chorus]

            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
