Sign 'O' The Times

Lyrics

Oh yeah
 ♪
 In France a skinny man
 Died of a big disease with a little name
 By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
 And soon she did the same
 At home there are seventeen year old boys
 And their idea of fun
 Is being in a gang called the Disciples
 High on crack, totin' a machine gun
 ♪
 Time, times
 Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church
 And killed everyone inside
 You turn on the telly and every other story
 Is tellin you somebody died
 Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
 And were sending people to the moon
 In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
 Now he's doing horse, it's June
 ♪
 Times, times
 It's silly, no?
 When a rocket ship explodes
 And everybody still wants to fly
 Some say a man ain't happy
 Unless a man truly dies
 Oh why
 Time, time
 Baby make a speech, star wars fly
 Neighbors just shine it on
 But if a night falls and a bomb falls
 Will anybody see the dawn?
 Time, times
 It is silly, no?
 When a rocket blows
 And everybody still wants to fly
 Some say a man ain't happy, truly
 Until a man truly dies
 Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
 ♪
 Time, time
 
 Sign o' the times, mess with your mind
 Hurry before it's too late
 Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
 We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy
 ♪
 Time, times
 ♪
 Times, time
