Lyrics
Time Will Only Tell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're gonna learn to love
And throw it all away
We're gonna drink ourselves
To an early grave
Gonna let it slip right through our hands
Gonna bury our heads in the sand
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves
Is there an afterlife
Or is there only this?
Do we spend it all now?
Do we save our chips?
This situation is getting kinda mean
Gonna have to deal with
The big war machine
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves
He said: Father, won't you tell me who I'm supposed to be?
'Cause there's so many questions with the world at your feet
Every generation's responsibilities to be listening to ourselves
She said: Mother, won't you tell me how I'm supposed to feel
'Cause Hollywood has told me it's only mostly real
To stand up and be counted it takes nerves of steel
To start listening to ourselves
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves
Oh, are we listening to ourselves
Yeah, are we listening to ourselves
Ooh, are we listening to ourselves
Ooh, are we listening to ourselves
Are we listening to ourselves
Are we listening to ourselves
