Sign Of The Times

(Album: Sample And Hold - 1983)

Flipping through the airwaves, checking out the news
Every night on weekdays, nothing to choose
But serious crimes
It's only a sign of the times

Trouble on the freeway, fighting on the street
Check it on the replay, ain't it a treat
For your curious minds
It's only a sign of the times

Listen to a love song twenty times a day
Baby's got a hang-up and nothing to say
But impossible rhymes
It's only a sign of the times

Sitting in a corner riding on a train
Killing conversation again and again
On familiar lines
It's only a sign of the times

Is this a vision of the world we live in
A sad reflection of a media supermind
So if you're thinking that it's time to give in
It's not the end of the line
It's just a sign of the times

Sniffing in the schoolyard, smoking in the class
Higher education, give 'em a pass
For inquisitive minds
It's only a sign of the times

Flipping through the airwaves, checking out the news
Every night on weekdays, nothing to choose
But serious crimes
It's only a sign of the times

Is this a vision of the world we live in
A sad reflection of a media supermind
So if you're thinking that it's time to give in
It's not the end of the line
It's just a sign of the times

Is this a vision of the world we live in
A sad reflection of a media supermind
So if you're thinking that it's time to give in
It's not the end of the line

Is this a vision of the world we live in
A sad reflection of a media supermind
So if you're thinking that it's time to give in
It's not the end of the line

Is this a vision of the world we live in
A sad reflection of a media supermind
So if you're thinking that it's time to give in
It's not the end of the line
It's just a sign of the times

It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
It's just a sign of the times
