Time For Livin'
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.
Time for livin', time for givin'
No time for makin' up a monster to share
Time for livin', time for givin'
No time for breakin' our own fairy tale
Ain't ain't ain't nobody's got to spell it for me
Ain't nobody got it yet I can see
Ain't nobody got the thing I can hear
But if I have to I will yell in your ear
Time for livin', time for givin'
No time for runnin' over, anymore
Let's share time for livin' time for givin'
No time for passin' done the fun
Ain't ain't ain't nobody's got to spell it for me
Ain't nobody got it yet I can see
Ain't nobody got the thing I can hear
But if I have to I will yell in your ear
Don't you, don't you, don't you, yell in my ear
Time for changin' re-arrangin'
No time for peace, just pass the buck
Rearrangin', leader's changin'
Pretty soon he might not give a damn
Ain't ain't ain't nobody's got to spell it for me
Ain't nobody got it yet I can see
Ain't nobody got the thing I can hear
But if I have to I will yell in your ear
But we'll yell in your ear
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time, time, time, rearrangin'
Time, rearrangin ....
