New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song of the Rock Era: "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers

The Chamber Brothers released this one in 1968.  If you have followed this fun feature, you know that we only feature songs that did not make the Top 10 but should have.  This is one that stopped just short of that mark at #11, the great song by the Chambers Brothers--"Time Has Come Today".
 
The song is now included in the Unknown/Underrated pages, which you can access at any time by clicking the link at the top of the web page.
 Time Has Come Today
by the Chambers Brothers
 
Written by Joe and Willie Chambers
 
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)

Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I'm thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)

Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)

Time [x11]

Oh
Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)

Time [x4]
Yeah
