This song was featured in the credit sequence for the film The Chase which starred Charlie Sheen and featured Henry Rollins as an aggressive cop.
If I'd listened to 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
Cause when you start to doubt yourself the real world would eat you alive
It's time, it's time
It's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
It's time, it's time
It's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
Cause when you start to doubt yourself the real world would eat you alive
And you know it's true
I'm talking to you: hero time starts right now. Hey, hero time, yeah
Time to shine, hey, hero time
If you think you've got 100 years to mess around: you're wrong
This time is real, your time is now . . . 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
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
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
Cause it's hero time, cause it's time to Shine
Cause it's time to go, go, go. yeah, hey
When you're gone, you're so gone
When you're gone, you're so gone
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've 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
Yeah
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive
Yeah
You could spend your entire life walking around, coward: or you can get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up. it's time to shine. yeah...
Shine was written by Henry Rollins.
