Well, there ain't no time to let that gun be shy, babe
There ain't no time to live up to the lie, babe
And there ain't no time to let the well run dry, baby
There's far too many things to do before the day is through

Well, there ain't no way of pushing back the clocks, babe
There ain't no way to make the bad man stop, babe
There ain't no time to holler out until your face turns blue
'Cause there's far too many things to do before the day is through

Well, there ain't no time

Purple mountain's majesty has turned all black and blue
The shots that fired up the hill, they're headed right for you
There ain't no time to look me in the eye or ask me what I'm doing
There's far too many things to do before the war is through
There ain't no time
