You wake up at the break of day

And what do you see

People rushing all around

Unconsciously

They pour into the subways

In never ending queues

To get to their employment

No time to lose



No time

They've got no time to call their own

Can't stop to wonder if the day is sunny

'Cause time to them means money

No time

They've got no time to call their own

I wonder when they'll start believing

This life was meant for living



It's the same the whole world over now

Money is king

It forces honest people

To do strange things

Like slaving in a factory

Or sweating down a mine

There's not a thing I wouldn't do

To make a dime



No time

They've got no time to call their own

So wrapped up in their fight for hidden treasure

They don't have time for pleasure

No time

They've got no time to call their own

I wonder when they'll start believing

This life was meant for living



No time

They've got no time to call their own

I wonder when they'll start believing

This life was meant for living



Both The Hootenanny Singers and The Hep Stars

released versions of this song by Bjrn. The Hootenanny

Singers did an accoustic version, while Benny and the Hep

Stars did a snappy pop version. As much as I like Bjrn's

lead vocal here, I really like the version by The Hep Stars

the best.
