Spock's Beard Time Has Come Lyrics

I'm just a junkyard now
This is my trash
They burnt me down somehow
Flicked me off like a cigarette ash

But time has come today
Time has come today

I've been a patron saint
I've had my mouth washed out
And I've been one big complaint
I've turned myself into two separate gorillas

But time has come today
Time has come to blow our old world away
Has come today

Time has come today
Time has come

Pulled in from Abilene, found the world was sold
He paid in gold but his hands were cold
But the man was sharp, man, this cat was cool
So we gave the jewel to a raving fool, yeah

They say I'm a big boy now
Come on and stand up straight
Lock up your girls and boys
Soon it will be too late

Time has come today
Time has come to blow out yesterday
Has come today
Time has come to blow our old world away

Cardboard people stand in a field made of grass
Carved from mahogany and jade they see you and all start to laugh
The eyes that they live through will roll as they give you the task

Steeped in a slumber, they tell you your number is one
And the proper ladies blow smoke from their mouths like a gun
They smile like the sun and say the race has begun, time to run

Cardboard people tell you they'd love you to stay When the whores and sailors come it would be best [Incomprehensible]
You must wait for the sunset, your time hasn't come yet today

As the sunset loves nimbus and the autumn light
We don't have to live for a fight
We can be one, it can be done

I must leave here with the morning light
We don't have to live to be right
We can be one, this must be done

And mommy and dad give a pat on the back but they're thinking
"If you leave here we'll hate you
If you leave here we'll argue
If you leave here we'll hate you
We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"

Then you're hunkerin' down
In mid-town with your brothers
And soon they're all looking your way
We can survive, just stay alive

And you think it's a crime but you know that it's time to be leaving
"If you leave here we'll hate you
If you leave here we'll argue
If you leave here we'll hate you
We love you but we'll hate you if you leave"

I'm just an old man now
I eat your thrash
I'll make it back somehow
Take off at long last, yeah

Time has come today
Time has come to blow our old world away
Time has come today
Time has come to blow our old world away

Let's blow our old world away
