Rollins Band - Shine

Great lyrics and so true. Song from the Rollins Band album "Weight". I couldn´t find a real video for this song on YouTube, so I took some pictures and tried to create my second video. Nothing special, but already better than the first one ;). So, just wait for the third.^^


Lyrics:

if I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
and if I took the time to bleed from
all the tiny little arrows shot my way,
I wouldn't be here!
the ones who don't do anything are always
the ones who try to put you down
and you could spend your entire life walking around
in the nowhere land of self doubt

'coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
'coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
and you know it's true!
I'm talking to you: hero time starts right now! Yeah, hero time, yeah,
time to shine, hey, hero time!

if ya think you've got 100 years to mess around: you're wrong!
this time it's real, y o u r t i m e i s n o w . . . it's hero time!
Yeah, hero time,hey, time to shine, yeah, hero time, yeah!

hard times are gettin' harder, the liars are acting strong
you better get a grip on yourself or you won't be around too long
it's hero time, hey, time to shine, yeah,
hero time, yeah, hero time, yeah!
it's hero time, it's hero time, time to shine, shine, shine, shine, shine!
oh yeah! (X3)

no such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time
no such thing as down time
all you got is life time... go! 'coz it's hero time, 'coz it's time to
shine
'coz it's time to go, go, go! yeah, hou!

when you're gone, you're so gone (X2)
you've got it now, it's time to go
hero time starts right now! yeah, aha..! ...change it!

I got grace in times of friction, I got truth in times of fiction
I've got no time for the hype... suicide!? I'm not that type...
I got no time for drug addiction, no time for smoke and booze
too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose!
It's time to shine, yeah, it's hero time, yeah, it's hero time, yeah,
yeah!

when you start to doubt yourself the
real world will eat you alive! yeah!
you could spend your entire walking
around, coward: or you can get up!
get up, get up, get up, get up! it's time to shine! yeah...

I started smoking and drinking because of Henry Rollins.

[ingridasplund]

My dad plays this song for me when I won't wake up in the morning.

[RussX5Z]

@JeffroTV Duh!

[JeffroTV]

@RussX5Z Is it that obvious?

[RussX5Z]

@Zanthxs Have you started hitting the weights also because of Henry? Because in my situation I definitely started being more serious about my diet and my physical fitness but it isn't only because of Henry Rollins' example but he is definitely one of the good examples out there for today's working men.

[RussX5Z]

@JeffroTV Ooohh that's sad. =( I assume you're being sarcastic.

[Zanthxs]

Henry is IT ... i stopped smoking cigarettes 12 years and drinking scotch this NYE 2012 because of Henry ... Peace ... and now, to seriously shred my guitar this glorious sunday morning...

[Boganvillar]

@JeffroTV I was actually joking and you reacted pretty badly to it therefore it is YOU who cannot take a joke.

[JeffroTV]

@Boganvillar He sure would, since I do neither! Thanks for showing me that people do not know how to take a joke. 

[Boganvillar]

@JeffroTV I'm sure he'd be very proud

[ZappaSauriio]

With this song I can give more when it's weighting time.

@Deerslayer2k9 If you cant handle the truth, Oh well..HE was in gay movies thats a fact..google it...if you want to tongue his balls go ahead but dont tell me about it.
