Midnight Oil - No Time For Games Lyrics
The raising of children, the rearing of young
Used to be simple but look what it's become
The choice of career, the proper vocation
Out of your hands, all for the needs of the nation
Wasted lessons or pleasure or pain
Easy to follow your natural instinct
Easy to follow, much too hard to learn
Useless expressions and sporting aggression
Don't waste my time, I can't wait for the end of the session
What opportunity, the modern child?
Waste passion and wasted mind
Some kids got no time for playtime
Some kids got no time for playtime
Some kids got no time for games

Midnight Oil No Time For Games Comments
Still listening 2019 👍
Changing direction as a band or singer can sometimes turn out well, look at Bowie he did it time after time successfully, Bob Dylan dumped his folk music fans and turned into a rock act. Me personally I can see why Midnight Oil dumped there original fans, but going down the "Save the environment" route didn't improve their music, it lost its power.
Can't believe P.Garret turned into such a cunt
If you have the vinyl .. play the start at 16 rpm .. fuckenunreal ..lol
No Time for games- Lets Rock!
remembering connect 4 and scrabble. old school games rule!
Great song!!!
Midnight Oil were always smarter than their audience - but they took them on a ride, even if the punters didn't understand what was being said in the early days of the band.
What the hell are you all talking about Peter turning? Inform me.
He's and always been a sellout . Initiated into the nwo .
hey what a fuckin band!!!
Oh yes, they are coming to germany this year.
Head Injuries & Bird Noises...after that, well....
Postcard was great too ...
Nope ... Aussie Pub Rock through and through ... BIG difference!
10, 9, Red Sails & Species Deceases all great too imo.
Spot on
it's hard to find this stuff in stores these days.
the oils first 2 albums were there best IMO. Proper rock n roll b4 they got too politically voiced. Great Aussie Music.
They were always "political", you idiot! Just so happens they could also write great songs & deliver them like nobody else! Guess you never actually listened to Head Injuries, or maybe you were just too thick to get the point...
so good
this song always reminds me of a mate I grew up with named lex he passed in the 80s RIP
Was a christian band? @stricyclemusic??
edwinmusic - lol... if surfing was a religion. You're not Australian are you if you dont know about the origins of The Oils
@JOHN KERR anything can be a religion if such is what you aspire to. God understands why we think what we do.
No its not. Certain
Great Great Great!!!! Oils 78-82! .......better go for a surf!
surf's up tonight.
was there on the night of the ep launch when the bird feathers went down ocean st for 2 km
25 years on and song still stands in every way :) ps screw u for turning Peter
Garrett is a perfect example of what happens when people try to have their cake AND eat it ... you can't swim with the sharks and survive without becoming one yourself ... I try to remember Oils before Garrett decided to join the scum.
Can't wait for the natural progression.
Don't waste my time. Lol
Look what's it become!
I just tried ( terribly ) to " tag" you on Quinella Holiday !!!!
How does one manage that?
I'm telling you. I'm spending my entire savings to catch them at The Domain in November.
And this isn't my absolute favorite sing.
Song!!!!
mel bruce when the generals talk. Red sails in the sunset
You better do what he say.
Now Peter can look at himself in the mirror again after his body and mind was manipulated all these years by the yin version of the political tag team we have in this country. Maybe he can dust off his vocal chords and limp back on stage and see if he can still do it. Wonder how he will face his audience? They can write one new song at least called "pink batts where did i go wronggggg!!"
SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK ! OK ? GO NOW ! ;))
What would you know you keyboard mutt, look at how well Garrett did with the insulation scheme/scam... Yeah Garrett grew up, but into what?
grow up you tool garrett did
A long time ago Peter Garrett was kind of cool, years later he is now a liar, smug goose rolled into a clueless Labour politican....
clueless labor better than any right Fascisto . working class hero something to be.
