can you hear the angels dropping falling our way?
  can you see the storm that's made this blackness from day?
  we need to get off our knees and not pray
  the air is thick and the future is grey
      out in the streets we're dying
  drowning in blood
  inside our homes we die of drama and lack of love
  our schools are filled with metal detectors and lies
  the prisons suck up the students who can't get by
      our eyes are heavy
  up to the levy the waters creep
  there is no time to kill now
  dream land is lost
  this is no time ta sleep
      you never knew me, my eyes are dry
  you live in la la land
  well i'd rather die
  you doze ignoring the world as it burns
  come on and get up we'll all take turns
      the dawn is coming
  can you hear the drumming
  as the hours creep
  there is no time to kill now
  how can you dream?
  there is no time to sleep
