the men of no property - if they come in the morning (no time for love) كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
they call it the law, apartheid, internment, conscription, partition, and silence
it’s a law that they made to keep you and me where they think we belong
they live behind steel and bulletproof glass, machine guns and spies
and tell us who suffer their tear gas and torture that we’re in the wrong

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning

[verse 2]
the trade union leaders, the writers, the rebels, the fighters and all
the strikers who fought with the cops at their factory gates
the sons and the daughters of unnumbered heroes who paid with their lives
and the poor folk whose color or class or belief was their only mistake

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning

[verse 3]
they suffered the torture, they rotted in cells, wrote letters, went crazy and died
the limits of pain they endured, but the loneliness got them instead
and the courts gave them justice, as justice is given by well_mannered thugs
sometimes they fought for the will to survive, and sometimes they wished they were dead
[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning

[verse 4]
they took away sacco, vanzetti, connolly and pe_rs_ in their time
they came for newton and seale, and the panthers and some of their friends
in boston, chicago, saigon, santiago, cape town and belfast
and places that never make headlines, the list never ends

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning

[verse 5]
they tell you that here you are free to live in and say what you please
to march and to riot and to sing—as long as you do it alone
but say it and do it with comrades united and strong
and they’ll send you for a long rest with walls and barbed wire for a home

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning
[verse 6]
the boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on their beat
the c.i.d, branch men and spies, and informers do their job as well
behind the men to tap phones and take pictures, and program computers and file
and the men who give orders which tell them just when to come and take you to a cell

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning

[verse 7]
so come all you people who give to your brothers and sisters the will to fight on
they say you get used to a war, but that doesn’t mean that the war isn’t on
the fish need the sea to survive, just like your comrades do
and the death squad can only get to them if first they can get through to you

[chorus]
no time for love if they come in the morning
no time to show fear or for tears in the morning
no time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
and the wail of the siren is a cry of the morning
