This Is No Time Ta Sleep

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
