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 anyone
Let's share time for livin', time for givin'
No time for passin', done the fun

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
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 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's a changin', rearrangin'
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time rearrangin', time rearrangin'

Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
Time's a changin', rearrangin'
