Sign o’ the Times

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] Time Time [Verse 2] 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 couldn't afford to feed it Yet we're sending people to the moon September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's June [Refrain] Times Times [Chorus] It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't happy, truly Until he truly dies Oh, why? Times Times [Verse 3] Baby, make a speech, star wars fly Neighbours just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls Will anybody see the dawn? [Refrain] Time Time [Chorus] It's silly, no? When a rocket blows up And everybody still wants to fly Some say man ain't happy, truly Until he truly dies Oh, why? Times Times (Times) [Outro] 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)
