can you hear the angels dropping falling our way?

can you see the storm that's made this blackness from day?

we need to get off our knees and not pray

the air is thick and the future is grey





out in the streets we're dying

drowning in blood

inside our homes we die of drama and lack of love

our schools are filled with metal detectors and lies

the prisons suck up the students who can't get by





our eyes are heavy

up to the levy the waters creep

there is no time to kill now

dream land is lost

this is no time ta sleep





you never knew me, my eyes are dry

you live in la la land

well i'd rather die

you doze ignoring the world as it burns

come on and get up we'll all take turns





the dawn is coming

can you hear the drumming

as the hours creep

there is no time to kill now

how can you dream?

there is no time to sleep
