Christy Moore - No time for love

It's a ^Emlaw that they made to keep you and me, where they think we ^Dbelong They hide behind ^Csteel and bulletproof glass, Machine guns and ^Gspies^{C G} And you^Em tell us who'll suffer the tear gas and torture that we're doing ^Dwr^Dsus4ong ^D

^CNo time for love if they ^Gcome in the morning No ^Dtime to show tears over ^Gfears in the morning No ^Ctime for goodbyes, no ^Gtime to ask why And the sound of the ^Bmsire^Cn the ^Dcry of the ^Gmourning^{C G}

They came for ^CSacko, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearce in their ^Gtime^{C G} They ^Emcame for Newton and Seal, Bobby Sands and some of his ^Dfriends In Boston, ^CChicago, Saigon, San Diego, Warsaw and ^GBelfast^{C G} And ^Emplaces that never make headlines the list never ^Dends^{Dsus4 D}

The boys in ^Cblue are only a few of the everyday cops on their ^Gbeat^{C G} The CID ^Embranchmen informers and spies do their job just as ^Dwell And behind them the ^Cmen who tap phones and load down computers and ^Gfiles^{C G} And the ^Emman that tells them when to come to take you to your ^Dcell^{Dsus4 D}

So come on you ^Cpeople who give your brothers and sisters the will to live ^Gon ^{C G} They ^Emsay you can get used to this war but that doesn't mean that this war isn't ^Don The fish need the ^Csea to survive just like your comrades need ^Gyou ^{C G} And ^Emthe death squads can only get through to them if first they can get through to ^Dyou^{Dsus4 D}
