Lyrics for 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 seventeen year old boys And their idea of fun Is being in a gang called the Disciples High on crack, 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 Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it And were sending people to the moon In September my cousin tried reefer for 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 to fly 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 It is silly, no? When a rocket blows And everybody still wants to 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 too late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy Time, times Times, time
