5. Thief of time
 There’s no time to waste, not a minute, not a minute.
                                                                      Nope!           Nope!
There’s no time to waste, not a minute, not a minute.
       There’s no time to waste.               Nope!           Nope!
 
There’s no time, it’s showtime, it’s pack up and go time, it’s now or never so they say.
There’s no time, it’s showtime, it’s pack up and go time, to kingdom come? We’re on our way!
 
Verse 1. 1.39
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Of time.
Prevarication is the major crime.
A major crime.
Master of inaction, the king of long delay.
                           The king of long delay.
Put off till tomorrow what you could begin today.
Put off what you could begin today.
 
1.03
Change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!

Change is coming, change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!
 
Verse 2. 1.13
Deliberations often take too long.
Too long.
Examination of what’s going wrong.
It’s going wrong.
Busy doing nothing, tomorrow never comes.
Tomorrow never comes.
This world’s slowly dying while we’re twiddling our thumbs!
This world while we’re twiddling our thumbs!
 
1.36
Change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!

Change is coming, change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!
But time is ticking,
          Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
Slip, slip away.
Slip, slip away.
Days are numbered,        tick, tick, tick today.
Days are numbered,            tick, tick, tick today.
          Days are numbered 3, 2, 1.

There’s no time to waste, not a minute, not a minute.

                                                                      Nope!           Nope!
There’s no time to waste, Not a minute, not a minute.
       There’s no time to waste            Nope!           Nope!
 
There’s no time, it’s showtime, it’s pack up and go time, it’s now or never so they say.
There’s no time, it’s showtime, it’s pack up and go time, to kingdom come? We’re on our way!
 
Verse 3. 2.38
Our politicians have been slow to act.
To act.
Delayed decisions and ignored the facts.
 Ignored the facts.
Evidence is building, but they're just killing time.
                         But they’re just killing time.
Rescuing our future is the mountain we must climb.
Rescuing the mountain we must climb.
 
3.01
Change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!

Change is coming, change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!
  
Verse 4. 3.12
Co-operation has begun at last.
                                                            At last.
Look to the future, don't dwell on the past.
                                                Dwell on the past.
(They say) time's a healer, we're in the nick of time.
                                                We’re in the nick of time.
Better late than never for a stitch in time saves nine!
Better late a stitch in time saves nine!

Change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!

Change is coming, change is coming, better believe it, better believe it!

But time is ticking,

          Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
Slip, slip away.
