In Time Songtext
von Sly & the Family Stone

There′s a Mickie in the tasting of disaster
In time, (in time) you get faster
Harry Hippie is a waste as if he hasta
Procrastinating
Something moving in the brain of a doer
In time, (in time) feel a little newer
I switched from coke to pep, and I'm a connoisseur
(′Bout time)

'Cause there's a method in the madness of the thinking
In time (in time) oh, we oughta
It seems the best of all the sadness is sinking
In time, (in time) in time muddy water
And there′s a wreck yard in the mind of a quitter
In time, (in time) it′s gonna git bitter
He don't give a heck, or is he blind and makin′ litter
In time
('Bout time) gonna need a babysitter


I felt so good, I told the leader how to follow
In time, (in time) get down
So glad I could not feel, indeed so very hollow
No need to follow
Our insecurities, attracting every flitter
In time (in time) it′s murder
If you don't mind, please, why give slack to a deserter?
In my– (my time)

Well, well, oh, well, daylight is all I see
Stay light and wait for me
See you tomorrow noon, miss me
(I′ll see you soon)

I told you it's not the teachin' it′s the learning
In time, (in time) don′t need no burning
When I mold you to start reaching in the mornin'
In time
Well, well there′s a feeling, oh, so real in every human
On time ('bout time)
There′s a reeling when you don't know what you′re doing
In time ('bout time)


Hey, hey, stay around, get a show (in time)
Don't you know?
Two years too long to wait
Two words will get it straight
(In time)
To see an answer in time, and that ain′t nothing, I′m a dancer
Two years too long to wait
Two words (will get it straight)

Two years too long to wait
Two words will get it straight
(Yeah, that's right, that′s right)
Two years too long to wait
Two words (will get it straight)
(In time)
(In time)

Two years too long to wait
Two words will get it straight
