Got No Time
It Lives It Breathes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rock this

I'd say it's finally time you free your mind
No way to say this ain't the place or the time
We are the heralds of a lost generation
So now it's time to speak if you have had enough

Can you see it?
(Yeah)
Can you feel it?
(Yeah)
Now you've got it baby
Don't you say you've had enough?
This is a roller coaster running through your wishing pond
Don't you say you've had enough?

Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs
All my life, just wanna see you take the world on
Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs, dear
Just wanna see you piss the world off

Better late than never
Holding a bullet to your head
No pawns, to leave them roaming like the walking dead
You see reflections in the mirror
Of who you think you need to be
I'll set your free

So maybe we'll leave your mind and your body at the door
And give me all the time
And give me all the time

Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs
All my life, just wanna see you take the world on
Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs, dear
Just wanna see you piss the world off
Got no time
Got no more time, no time for me
Tell me, can you feel it?
Got no time
Got no more time, no time for me
Tell me, can you see it?

Got no time, got no time
Don't say you've got no time for me
'Cause baby when you said that you would never walk away

Rock this graveyard
Leave your mind and body at the door
And give me all your soul
Give me all your soul
Give it all to me

Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs
All my life, just wanna see you take the world on
Got no time
Got no more time for your love songs, dear
Just wanna see you piss the world off
Got no time
Got no more time, no time for me
Tell me, can you feel it?
Got no time
Got no more time, no time for me
Tell me, can you see it?





Got no time, got no time
No time, no time
