High time

Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung

I flip the switch on my laser video
And theres the man staring back at me
He starts to speak in a voice so righteous
About the sins of society

Hes got answers to all my problems
Says hell decide what I should hear and see
I try to change to another station
But all I get is more of his morality
And morality, yeah

But I see the kids of a new generation
And they wont stand for this mind control
Theyre gonna change this world we live in
Theyre gonna bring back the rock and roll

So if I can, Im gonna break from this prison
Gonna get out and join in the fight
Take a chance on what I believe in
Win or lose, I know its right

cause its high time
For us to start a revolution
High time
Just like an a-bomb explosion
High time
It aint the music thats in question
High time
Its more the freedom of expression

Change is comin
Mind police are comin
Were on the move
The old world is crumblin
A new days comin
Tell your friends and relations
Were on the move
Were gonna start a rockin nation

High time
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
High time
Were gonna start a revolution
High time

High time
For us to start a revolution
High time
Just like an a-bomb explosion
High time
It aint the music thats in question
High time
Its more the freedom of expression

Change is comin
Mind police are comin
Were on the move
The old world is crumblin
A new days comin
Tell your friends and relations
Were on the move
Were gonna start a rockin nation
