TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND STARTED THINKING
WHERE ARE ARE THE DAYS AND WEEKS GOING
I SCRATCHED MY HEAD AND LOOKED AROUND
AND THE WORLD IS REALLY SPINNING AROUND
IN FACT THE WORLD IS SPINNING SO FAST
THE MONTHS AND YEARS DON'T LAST
IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP I'M LOOSING SIGHT
THE DAYS ARE GOING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
CHORUS:
TIME WAITS FOR O MAN
NO CHILD OR NO WOMAN
NOT THE WEAK OR THE STRONG
TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
PEOPLE ARE IN A HURRY LIKE THE DAYS ARE
RUSHING AND RUSHING GOD KNOWS WHAT FOR
THERE'S NO TIME TO LIVE THEY'RE BUSY
LIVING IN THE FAST LANE IS JUST CRAZY
EVERYWHERE YOU GO PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME
EVEN THE BLIND IS SEEING THE END GAME
IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT TIME YOU'RE WRONG
CAUSE TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
CHORUS
TIME WAITS FOR O MAN
NO CHILD OR NO WOMAN
NOT THE WEAK OR THE STRONG
TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
THEY SAY 24 HOURS MAKE ONE DAY
BUT AS SOON AS YOU BLINK IT'S ANOTHER DAY
TIME FLIES LIKE THROWING A DART
TIME IS LONGER THAN ROPE BUT THE ROPE IS SHORT
IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP I'M LOOSING SIGHT
THE DAYS ARE GOING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT TIME YOU'RE WRONG
CAUSE TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN
CHORUS
TIME WAITS FOR O MAN
NO CHILD OR NO WOMAN
NOT THE WEAK OR THE STRONG
TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN

GENESIS
VERSE 1
I WONDER WHY OF ALL PLACES
I'M IN A WICKED WORLD FULL OF CRISIS
IS IT FOR REAL OR IN DISGUISES
I HATE THE SYSTEM IT DESPISES
I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WORLD'S BEGINNING
I WANT TO ESCAPE FROM THE ENDING
SHOW ME SOME GOODNESS AND MERCIES
TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS
CHORUS:
I CAN'T TAKE YOUR FUNNY BUSINESS
YOUR GAMES ARE SET FOR MY LOSSES
AND YOUR PRESSURE IS BREAKING MY DEFENCES
SO TAKE ME BACK , TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS.
VERSE 2
THE GOOD TIMES ARE IN THE PAST
THIS PRESENT SYSTEM IS MOVING TOO FAST
WE HAVE TO PROCEED WITH MUCH CAUTION
THE WAY THINGS ARE EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG
THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE GOING DOWN THAT ROAD
THEY'RE NOT HAPPY CARRYING SUCH A HEAVY LOAD
I WILL NOT RUN OR JOIN THEIR RACES
SO TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS.
CHORUS:
I CAN'T TAKE YOUR FUNNY BUSINESS
YOUR GAMES ARE SET FOR MY LOSSES
AND YOUR PRESSURE IS BREAKING MY DEFENCES
SO TAKE ME BACK , TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS.
VERSE 3
BEFORE MANKIND CHOOSES INDEPENDENCE
BEFORE THIS WICKED WORLD BECAME HIS RESIDENT
BEFORE MAN BECAME A SLAVE TO VIOLENCE
BEFORE MAN LOOSES HIS COMMON SENSE
BEFORE WE ALL GOT SO VERY LOST
BEFORE WE HAD TO CARRY SUCH A HEAVY CROSS
SHOW ME SOME GOODNESS AND MERCIES
TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS
CHORUS:
I CAN'T TAKE YOUR FUNNY BUSINESS
YOUR GAMES ARE SET FOR MY LOSSES
AND YOUR PRESSURE IS BREAKING MY DEFENCES
SO TAKE ME BACK , TAKE ME BACK TO GENESIS.

DO THE RIGHT THING
VERSE 1
YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS WHAT IS RIGHT
WHAT'S DONE IN DARKNESS WILL COME OUT TO LIGHT
THERE'S A VOICE INSIDE TALKING TO YOU
TELLING YOU THE RIGHT THINGS YOU SHOULD DO
LISTEN TO THE VOICE THAT IS RIGHT
OR YOU WILL END UP TAKING FLIGHT
LET YOUR CONSCIENCE GIVE YOU A GOOD FEELING
JUST DO THE RIGHT THING
CHORUS:
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR LOVE AND HARMONY
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR PEACE AND UNITY
VERSE 2
DON'T DO BAD AND THINK YOU WILL GET AWAY
REMEMBER EVERY DOG HAVE IT'S DAY
YOU HIDE FROM THE LAW BUT NOT FROM GOD
DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND TURN AWAY FROM BAD
THE ARMS OF THE LAW IS LONG
THEY WILL REACH YOU AND COME DOWN STRONG
WHEN YOU DO GOOD IT GIVES YOU A GOOD FEELING
YOU KNOW THE SCORE DO THE RIGHT THING
CHORUS:
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR LOVE AND HARMONY
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR PEACE AND UNITY
VERSE 3
STAND UP AND FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
STAND UP FOR TRUTHS AND RIGHTS
DON'T LET BADNESS RULE YOUR ACTION
DON'T GIVE YOUR DEMONS THE SATISFACTION
LOOK INTO YOURSELF AND TAKE PRIDE
LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE
WHEN YOU DO GOOD IT GIVES A GOOD FEELING
YOU KNOW THE SCORE DO THE RIGHT THING
CHORUS:
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR LOVE AND HARMONY
DO THE RIGHT THING
FOR PEACE AND UNITY

TIME TO LET YOU
TIME TO LET YOU GO.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF WANTING YOU
GONNA TAKE A DIFFERENT AVENUE
IT CAN'T BE GOOD TO WANT YOU SO BAD
THIS IS THE HARDEST STRUGGLE I'VE EVER HAD
I CAN'T KEEP TRYING FOR YOU TILL I DIE
IT'AS TIME FOR ME TO SAY GOODBYE
I WOULD BE A FOOL IF DIDN'T KNOW
THAT IT'S FOR ME TO LET YOU GO
CHORUS
TIME FOR ME TO LET YOU GO
I WOULD BE A FOOL IF I DON'T KNOW
MY FRIENDS SAY I DON'T NEED YOU NO!
SO IT'S TIME NOW TIME TO LET YOU GO. (rep2X)
VERSE
THEY SAY YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
IF THEY KNEW YOU THEY WOULD KNOW I CAN'T
THE ROAD IS DEFINITELY CLOSED FOR ME
FROM NOW ON I JUST WANT TO BE FREE
WANTING YOU HAS PUT ME UNDER PRESSURE
THE STRESS IS KILLING ME IT'S LIKE MURDER
I WOULD BE A FOL IF I DON'T KNOW
THAT IT'S TIME FOR ME TO LET YOU GO
( RAP SECTION) 16 bars
CHORUS:
VERSE 3
I'M GONNA CELEBRATE BY DRINKING A BEER
GLAD TO FIND THE COURAGE TO GET OUTTA HERE
WANTING YOU HAS NOT MADE ME HAPPY
IF ANYTHING IT HAS MADE ME CRAZY
BUT NOW I HAVE TAKEN HOLD OF MY SENSES
MY HEART CANNOT CLIMB OVER YOUR FENCES
I WOULD BE A FOOL IF I DON'T KNOW
THAT IT'S TIME TO LET YOU GO.
