Living Colour - Time's Up Lyrics






Time's up / The rivers have no life
Time's up / The wold is full of strife
Time's up / The Sky is falling
Time's up / The Lord is calling

How you gonna stop the clock
When the well runs dry
All the rivers have died
Moment by moment, day by day
The world is just slipping away
Your future won't save your past
The time is now, it won't last
The time is nigh
Time to do or die

Time waits for no one
If you want to go on
Leave me something to grow on
The forests, the trees, the rivers, the seas
All die of this disease

Time ain't on your side
Don't sit idly by
You've got to just try

  1. A.... R....

    Kick ass tune. I like the cacophony on the thrash parts especially.

  4. A.... ....

    What the fuck is this and why am I only now finding it at 29 years of age?

  5. s.... ....

    The musicianship on this tune....let alone this whole cd is great! If you haven't heard it in awhile...its definitely worth revisiting. The one thing that kinda sucks about today's society is not very many music stores, you used to be able, and (i) would actually enjoy walking around looking at all the bins in the rock and heavy metal section a to z and once in awhile you come across a band you haven't heard of but because it had a cool cover you bought it. Once in awhile you'd come across a band like this...nothing more bitchen than discovering a band that kicks ass and every song on the cd is rad.

  6. D.... ....

    Man, that fk'n bass player!! Nice!

  7. L.... S....

    Living Colour doing their way of punk!

  8. G.... ....

    G.... P....

    From a girl’s perspective, i agree. 100%.

    G.... P....

    @Cynthia There's never been a woman who has ever given me the time of day,and I play and sing music. But,yet everyone hates me and I need to just die. Watch my youtube videos if you dare. You'll see what I mean. I wish I was dead 😥 I'll never know the love of a woman...never

    I concur. I remember listening to this on repeat in 1990. Flip tape, Play again.

  46. V.... ....

    I used to dance like crazy to this as a kid when my dad played it in his study. Good times.

  51. n.... ....

    Not a fan of this style of music but the guitar solos were mint!

  52. M.... ....

    His voice reminds me of Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust. Amazing band.

    M.... ....

    I think that here was a big influence from Glober to Witherspoon

    M.... ....

    I think what you meant to say is Lajon Witherspoon's voice reminds you of Corey Glover's voice.

    M.... ....

    Exactly!

  53. S.... ....

    AMAZING!!!

  54. T.... ....

    Me neither! I'm like, "Oh...." Where the fxck was I at?

    - Saw these guys in a small club, probably around not more than 50 people in the whole place - They performed like there were tens of thousands in the crowd.
