It Takes Time lyrics
Baby Davis getting older, can't take a rain check
It's time to let 'em know what we expect
Stop building SUV's, strung out on OPEC
Hold up, wait up, you know we come correct
Wanna change things up, well, hey, just get set
Easier to sit back than stick out your neck
It's easier to break things than build it correct
We've got a president, we didn't elect
The Kyoto treaty, he decided to neglect
And still, the US just wants to flex
Keep doin' that wop, we gonna break our necks
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
Aiyo, hate filled people wanna keep us in check
Tearin' down each other is what they expect
If you want love, well, hey, that's a bet
We've got to give before we can get
Waiting like a batter who is on deck
When it's time to wreck shop then shop I'll wreck
So let's calibrate and check our specs
We need a little shift on over towards the left
I don't really know but I suspect
I think it's due time that we inspect
How they get their information and their facts are checked
Another press conference, someone's talking out their neck
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
So step up to the window and place your bets
Is the US gonna keep breaking necks?
Or maybe it's time that we impeach Tex
And the military muscle that he wants to flex
By the time Bush is done what will be left?
Selling votes like E-pills up in the discotheque
Environmental destruction and the national debt
But plenty dollars left in the fat war chest
Now, what the real deal, why you can't connect?
Why you hating people that you never met?
Didn't your mama teach you to show some respect?
Why not open your mind for a sec?
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
It takes a, it takes a, it takes a
It takes a, it takes a, it takes a
The idea is to keep the green alien landing craft
From taking your humans from the ground
And changing them into mutants
A mutant is very dangerous to you
Because he flies faster than you do and shoots at you
Baby Davis getting older, can't take a rain check
It's time to let 'em know what we expect
