Someone Like You (03:49)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
Do you remember
The time of laughter
Children playing, life was so sweet
Before our city forgot us
And let the druglord take our street
Pacify me politician
Pacify me with your lies
Blind to the people suffering
Deaf to the children's cries

But I know what to do
With someone like you

Police
They chased my brother
Policeman licensed to kill
Oh how I miss my brother
Good shoes are so hard to fill
Policeman are you happy?
You snuffed a medical student out
Maybe he could have changed the world
I guess we'll never find out

But I know what to do
With someone like you
I know what to do
With someone like you

It's never too late to change your ways
It's never too late to change your ways

Too young
Gave her body
She was afraid of being alone
One baby having another
Sweet baby wants to be grown
But there's an angel on your shoulder
Always speaking to your soul
Listen and your heart will be glad
You'll never have to be alone

'Cause I know what to do
With someone like you
I know what to do
With someone like you

I know what to do
With someone like you

I know what to do

Elvis Is Dead (03:50)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
Tabloids scream
Elvis seen at a shopping mall
That's the kind of talk
That makes my stomach crawl

Picture a zombie Elvis
In a tacky white jump suit
Just imagine a rotting Elvis
Shopping for fresh fruit

You can't 'cause

Elvis is dead
Elvis is dead
Elvis is dead
Elvis is dead

When the king died
He was all alone
I heard that when he died
He was sitting on his throne

Alas poor Elvis
They made us know you well
Now you dwell forever
In the Heartbreak Hotel

Elvis was a hero to most
But that's beside the point
A Black man taught him how to sing
And then he was crowned king

The pelvis of Elvis
Too dangerous for the masses

They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas
Now the masses are his slave
Slave? Slave
Yes, even from the grave

Elvis is dead

I've got a reason to believe
We all won't be received at Graceland
I've got a reason to believe
We all won't be received at Graceland

Type (06:26)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
Stereotype
Monotype
Blood type
Are you my type?
Minimalism
Abstract expressionism
Postmodernism
Is it?

We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real

Corporate religion
Televangahypnotism
Suffer till you die
For the sweet-bye-and-bye
Science and technology, the new mythology
Look deep inside
Empty

We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real

Everything that goes around
Comes around

Hypothetical
Theoretical
Circumstantial evidence
Irrelevance
Don't think twice
Just roll the dice
Pay the price
Snake eyes

We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real

We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where your fate has been sealed
This is the time when your life is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real

Everything that goes around
Comes around...

Information Overload (06:11)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
Sometimes I feel
Like my mind will explode
Sometimes I feel
Like I've got no control
Sometimes I wish
I had a heart made of steel
Sometimes I wish
I couldn't feel

Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload

They say the future...it's on a microchip
Don't you know we're all on a sinking ship
Only ten percent control all the rest
Only ten percent decide what is best

Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload
Information overload

I don't want to live like this

Still ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'd like to shake these blues but I'm still paying dues
My blues so deep you might think they're black
My blues so deep there ain't no turning back

Information overload...

Under Cover of Darkness (04:17)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
Touch without seeing love with no feeling
Stealing a moment...under cover of darkness

I'd like to kiss you let my lips caress you
Sending sparks of passion up your spine
But doing so means saying no and even
The thought would be a crime

I like to touch your skin even if it is a sin
I'd rather burn than not touch you
I might just go mad thinking what I might have had
And all the things I'd like to do

Chorus:
Safe seduction isn't what it is
Sexuality isn't what it appears to be
It's what you think you see

I want to make you hot
Touch that spot and send you on a trip
But my consequence is abstinence
And Lord knows I just can't slip
I want to feel you/the real you
Not the projection that you let me see
The safest sex is when it's not skin to skin
It's very simple let your mind go free

Chorus
To do or not to do that is the question
Over and over you're prone to suggestion
And I simply can't condone the fact
That you want to make your bed my home
Let's say I take this man as my lover
And he swears that there will never be another
But really he doesn't give a damn about safe sex
And with all these other girls he has a taste test
Well the thrill doesn't outweigh the consequences
Therefore I am using my common senses
To let you know I adore you
But I'm afraid I'm not the one for you

Chorus

Fight the Fight (04:33)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
We are all fighting the same fight
We are all in the same war
We are all in the same revolution
You got to know what you're fighting for

We are all fighting the same fight
We are all in the same war
We are all in the same revolution
You got to know what you're fighting for

Yelling and kicking trying to stay alive
All the time eyes on the prize
But does anybody hear my cries
Tell me something do I qualify?

TV telling me we're just the same
What they're talking is the same old game
Tell me if I'm just like you, why can't I do the things
That you do (huh)?

If war's the key, what door will it open?
Is peace the answer, then what's the question?

War is hell
Peace is hell
Love is hell

Oh what the hell

My heart beats just like yours
When I dream my mind soars
But no fantasy can pay my bills
Another dream unfulfilled

We are all fighting the same fight
We are all in the same war
We are all in the same revolution
You got to know what you're fighting for

We are all fighting the same fight
We are all in the same war
We are all in the same revolution
You got to know what you're fighting for

Fight the fight
In the war
In this revolution
You got to know what you're fighting for

Solace of You (03:38)
Living Colour • Time’s Up
�Solace of you�

When it hurts to be out there
where no one will care
I've got the solace of you

Frustrated by the people lying
But I keep on trying
I've got the solace of you

When I can't think straight
And there's no escape
I've got the the solace of you

Gotta go inside back where we started
back to the beginning
'Cause that's where my heart is
They can hurt me jail my body
I'll still be free
I've got the solace of you

They can take my land
tell me I'm not who I am
I've got the solace of you

A wise man said to know thyself
'Cause in the end there's no one else
Just the solace of you

Gotta go inside...

gotta go inside
back to the beginning
Gotta go inside
back to the beginning
