I wrote this song in 2016 in response to a darkening world. I have always resisted injustice and inequality. Now more than ever!
Somebody asked me a short time ago "Where are all the protest songs?" I thought about it long and hard How we gonna right this wrong?
I thought about my place in this world And what we're going to leave our grandkids Looking at me so curiously Asking me "what we did?"
Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this
Big fat bullies in a china shop Running amok with their lies Breaking all truth and beauty They're Pigs to loathe and despise
'Cause There's no room for billionaires Laughing on their gated thrones Greedy dragons basking in their lairs Feeding on people's bones
Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this
They Promised to return to a better time A time that never really was They fooled the folks with alternate facts Lies that re-enforced their cause
They dumbed it down for the disenfranchised The narrow-minded, bigots too Wrapped in the flag, pretending to be holy But What the hell would Jesus do?
Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this
Their Contempt for women and veterans Mexicans and muslims too Cutting off food, the arts and education Next they'll be coming after you
So take your anger to the streets Yell at them and shake your fist Never give in 'cause you know it's wrong You know you have to resist
Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this
I so admire your capacity to put thoughts to song and then perform — this is powerful!
