Sign O' the Times

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 17-year-old boys and their idea of fun

Is being in a gang called the disciples

High on crack and 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

A sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it

And yet we're sending people to the moon

In September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time

Now he's doing horse, it's June, uh

Times

It's silly, no

When a rocket ship explodes and everybody still wants to fly

But 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

Is it silly? No

When a rocket blows and everybody still wants to fly

Some say man ain't happy truly until a man truly dies

Oh, why?

Oh, why?

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
