Lyrics

No time crying
No time for tears
Got no time for crying
Got no time for tears

We've got work to do x 4

People are dyin'
Bullets are flyin'
No time for tears
No time for tears

We've got to do x 4

We've got no time for crying
We've got work to do
We've got no time for tears
We've got work to do
People are dyin'
Bullets are flyin'

We've got work to do x 3
There's still work to do

Are you with me?
You with me?
Keep coming
There's work to do

We've got no time for crying
We've got work to do
We've got no time for tears
We've got work to do
People are dyin'
Bullets are flyin'
We've got work to do x 4
