Time Lyrics

Goo - Goo

Time has come today
Young hearts can go that way
Can't put it off another way
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today - hey

The rules have changed today - hey
I have no place to stay - hey
Thinking about the subway - hey
The love has flown away - hey
My tears have come and gone - hey
Oh my lord I have to roam - hey
I have no home - hey
I have no home - hey

Now the time has come - time
No place to run - time
I might get burned up by the sun - time
But I had my fun - time

I've been loved and put aside - time
I've been crushed by tumbling tide - time
And my soul has been psychedelicized - time - time

Now the time has come - time
There are things to realize - time
Time has come today - time
Time has come today - time
Time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Time lyrics by Chambers Brothers, The

by Riverman94610

20y ago

A truly revolutionary song,an anti-establishment anthem for the young rebels of 1968. "Thinking about the subway,the love has gone away-thats a rejection of the adult world's mindless attitude toward work,taking the subway downtown where there is no joy or nurturance. "My soull has been psychedilesized",a clever way at taking a jab at the white blues afficionados and Hendrix worshippers who tok the black experience and twisted it to their own vision.
