Consider your position, position your defense Why don't you let me ask you, is it mere coincidence? Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain Listen to the wind, a silent scream Tearing out your broken heart like a forgotten dream Ah a time for peace, a time for war Wondering what we've been put here for A time for giving, a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time to beg, a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time to kill
Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got You think you've got the given right to take another shot I'll take away your money, all you've got is coloured beads Find a piece of land where you can sow your dirty seeds Listen to the wind, a silent scream Tearing out your broken heart like a forgotten dream Oh a time for passion, a time for pain A time to learn that we're all the same A time to remember, a time to forget Wondering how we're going to pay our debts A time for thunder, a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time to kill
A time for peace, a time for war Wondering what we've been put here for A time for giving, a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time to beg, a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time... Ooh
A time for passion, a time for pain A time to learn that we're all the same A time to remember, a time to forget Wondering how we're going to pay our debts A time for thunder, a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things I've had my fill Lord I need some time... I need... I need some time... Some time... Some time... Some time to kill
