This is not exactly what you want, but it is close:
\version "2.19.82"

\layout {
  \set RhythmicStaff.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #all-invisible
  \set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f
    \context { 
        \RhythmicStaff
      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
      \override Clef.break-visibility = #all-invisible
    }
}


\score { <<
    \new ChordNames { s4 f2 c }
    \new RhythmicStaff {
      \new NullVoice
        \relative c' {          
            \override Score.BarLine.stencil = ##f
            \partial 4
            \time 4/4
            \key f \major
            f8 g | f4. e16 d e c8~ c4
        }
    }
    \addlyrics { It's not time to make a change, }
>> }
