Time To Go Home Lyrics - Yell Fire! - Michael Franti

Those who start wars, never fight them 

And those who fight wars, they never like them 

And those who write laws, they can recite them 

And those of us who just fight laws 

We live and die them 

But I know, they never gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies, no 

Never ever gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies, no 

Never ever gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies 

It's time 

It's time to go home 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

It's time to go home 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Those who build walls are pretending 

That forever they can defend them (No, no, no) 

Those who dam streams can build fountains (Yes they can) 

But those of us who just let them run free 

We can move mountains 

But I know, they never gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies, no 

Never ever gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies, no 

Never ever gonna tell you why, no 

They only wanna tell you lies 

It's time 

It's time to go home 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

It's time to go home 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

(It's time, it's time!) 

How many people were they runnin' from and 

How many people never saw it comin' 

How many people never heard the warnin' 

How many people never stayed at home and 

How many people never heard the callin' 

How many people never saw it all and 

How many people did they spend it on and 

How many people got to sing the song and 

How many people never heard the cry and 

How many people gotten pushed aside 

How many people never saw the dust fly 

How many people never said goodbye and 

How many people never saw the fall and 

How many people did we end it all and 

How many people never saw the wrong and 

How many people did we drop the bomb on 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away, no 

Don't take our girls away, no 

Don't take our boys away 

It's time 

It's time to go home! 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away 

Away
