Now!

If those historic gentlemen came back today

Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln

And Walter Cronkite put them on channel 2

To find out what they were thinkin'

I'm sure they'd say

Thanks for quoting us so much

But we don't want to take a bow

Enough with the quoting

Put those words into action

And we mean action now

Now is the moment

Now is the moment

Come on, we've put it off long enough

Now, no more waiting

No hesitatin'

Now, now

Come on let's get some of that stuff

It's there for you and me

For every he and she

Just wanna do what's right

Constitutionally

I went and took a look

In my old history book

It's there in black and white

For all to see

Now, now,

Now, now, now, now

Everyone should love his brother

People all should love each other

Just don't take it literal, mister

No one wants to grab your sister

Now is the time

Now is the time

Now is the moment

Now is the moment

Come on, we've put it off long enough

Now, no more waiting

No hesitatin'

Now, now

Come on let's get some of that stuff

It's there for you and me

For every he and she

Just wanna do what's right

Constitutionally

I went and took a look

In my old history book

It's there in black and white

For all to see

Now, now,

Now, now, now, now, now,

Now

Now, now, now, now,

The message of this song's not subtle

No discussion, no rebuttal

We want more than just a promise

Say goodbye to Uncle Thomas

Call me naïve

Still I believe

We're created free and equal,

Now

Now

Now, now, now, now

Everyone should love his brother

People all should love each other

Since they say we all got rhythm

Come on, let's share our rhythm with 'em

Now is the time

Now is the time

The time is nowwwwww
