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 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 of 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 2 feed it
And yet we’re sending people 2 the moon
In september, my cousin tried reefer 4 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 2 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 blow and everybody still wants 2 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 2 late
Let’s fall in love, get married, have a baby
We’ll call him nate
If it’s a boy

Time
Times
