Sign Of The Times

God's violence is so pure

his wrath flows

through the pious man who always says

just the right words

At the assembly line

we sign our names on bombs

so the burning children know

that we truly love them

So hopeless and helpless

We lie to ourselves

How could we feel good for

anything again

 

It's just a sign of the times

It's just a sign of the times

And the time is nigh

So divine, so assured

Collateral meaning is blurred

Hypocrisy made currency

To justify atrocity

The holy scroll

takes its toll

convenient wars

we're on a roll

grab your gun

let's have some fun

And watch the new nightmare unfurl

So hopeless and helpless

We lie to ourselves

How could we feel good for

anything again

 

It's just a sign of the times

It's just a sign of the times

And the time is nigh
