Sign O' The Times

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, toting a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died

Sister killed her baby 'cause she can't afford to feed it
And we're sending people to the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer
For the very first time
And now he's doing horse, it's June

Time, time

It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everyone still wants to fly away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time

Baby makes a speech, and Star Wars fly
And neighbours just shine it on
But a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody hear the dawn?
Time

It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everyone still wants to fly away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
