Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season.
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers,
The Napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat
and lick the gravy,
We oil the jaws of the war machine
and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children
torn in two,
And the jellied brains of those who remain
to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all
dance to their song,
To the tune of starving millions
to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...is all night
Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...is all night.
O TEMPO NÃO PÁRA
CAZUZA
COMPOSITOR: ARNALDO BRANDÃO
ONDE: CANECÃO 1988
PAÍS: BRASIL
ÁLBUM: O TEMPO NÃO PÁRA
GRAVADORA: PHILIPS RECORDS
GÊNERO: ROCK AND ROLL
ANO: 1988

O Tempo não Para é o quarto álbum solo do cantor brasileiro de rock Cazuza, sendo o último registro ao vivo do cantor. Foi gravado durante a turnê do disco Ideologia, nos dias 14, 15, e 16 de outubro de 1988 no Canecão, Rio de Janeiro.
O show foi dirigido por Ney Matogrosso, cantor e amigo de Cazuza, e conta com sucessos de toda a carreira solo e da carreira com o Barão Vermelho também, além de duas releituras de outros cantores: "Vida Louca Vida", originalmente lançada por Lobão no disco Vida Bandida, de 1987; e "O Tempo não Para", originalmente lançada pela banda Hanói-Hanói no disco Fanzine, de 1988.
"O Tempo não Para", em específico, foi composta por Cazuza em parceria com Arnaldo Brandão, baixista e vocalista do Hanói-Hanói, e o dramaturgo e letrista estadunidense Howard Ashman, mais conhecido por escrever músicas com Alan Menken para animações da Disney como A Pequena Sereia e A Bela e a Fera. É, junto a "Exagerado" e "Ideologia", uma das canções de maior sucesso do cantor. O verso ("Mas se você achar que eu tô derrotado/ Saiba que ainda estão rolando os dados") é uma alfinetada na mídia, que já lhe dava como morto. A banda argentina Bersuit Vergarabat fez uma versão da canção chamada "El tiempo no para" no álbum Y Punto, em 1992. Essa é uma adaptação daquela que voltou-se com muita popularidade pois também contem uma dura crítica aos governantes dos anos 90.
Disparo contra o sol
Sou forte, sou por acaso
Minha metralhadora cheia de mágoas
Eu sou um cara
Cansado de correr
Na direção contrária
Sem pódio de chegada ou beijo de namorada
Eu sou mais um cara

Mas se você achar
Que eu tô derrotado
Saiba que ainda estão rolando os dados
Porque o tempo, o tempo não pára

Dias sim, dias não
Eu vou sobrevivendo sem um arranhão
Da caridade de quem me detesta

A tua piscina tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
O tempo não pára

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não pára
Não pára, não, não pára

Eu não tenho data pra comemorar
Às vezes os meus dias são de par em par
Procurando agulha num palheiro

Nas noites de frio é melhor nem nascer
Nas de calor, se escolhe: é matar ou morrer
E assim nos tornamos brasileiros
Te chamam de ladrão, de bicha, maconheiro
Transformam o país inteiro num puteiro
Pois assim se ganha mais dinheiro

A tua piscina tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
O tempo não pára

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não pára
Não pára, não, não pára

Dias sim, dias não
Eu vou sobrevivendo sem um arranhão
Da caridade de quem me detesta

A tua piscina tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
O tempo não pára

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não pára
Não pára, não, não pára.

GENRE: BAROQUE POP
YEAR: 1967

The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958. Their lineup consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
To Love Somebody" is a song written by Barry and Robin Gibb. Produced by Robert Stigwood, it was the second single released by the Bee Gees from their international debut album, Bee Gees 1st, in 1967. The single reached No.17 in the United States and No.41 in the United Kingdom. The song's B-side was "Close Another Door". The single was reissued in 1980 on RSO Records with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" as its flipside. The song ranked at number 94 on NME magazine's "100 Best Tracks of the Sixties". It was a minor hit in the UK and France. It reached the top 20 in the US. It reached the top 10 in Canada.
In a 2017 interview with Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Barry was asked "of all the songs that you've ever written, which song would you choose?" Barry said that "To Love Somebody" was the song that he'd choose as it has "a clear, emotional message".
The song has been recorded by many other artists, including Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, Roberta Flack, Jimmy Somerville, Michael Bolton, Billy Corgan, Rod Stewart and Michael Bublé.
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you
Lived with you

There's a way
Everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got you, baby

(CHORUS)
You don't know what's like
Baby, you don't know what's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so so so blind
I'm a man, can't you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you, baby

(CHORUS)

Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I'm your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around

Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around
Turn it around...

Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time

Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around
Turn it around...
Waiting for your change of heart...
