Simple Minds - Sign O' The Times Lyrics
Oh yeahIn france a skinny manDied of a big disease with a litte nameBy chance his girlfriend came across a needleAnd soon she did the sameAt homethere are seventeen-year-old boysAnd their idea of funIs being in a gang called the disciplesHigh on crack, totin a machine gunTime timeHurricane annie ripped the ceiling off a churchAnd killed everyone insideYou turn on the telly and every other storyIs tellin you somebody diedSister killed here baby cuz she could affort to feed itAnd were sending people to the moonIn september my cousin tried reefer for the very first timeNow hes doing horse, its juneTime timeIts silly, no? when a rocket ship explodesAnd everybody still wants to flySome say a man aint happyUnless a man truly diesOh whyTime timeBaby make a speech, star wars flyNeighbours just shine it onBut if a night falls and a bomb fallsWill anybody see the dawnTime timeIts silly, no? when a rocket ship explodesAnd everybody still wants to flySome say a man aint happyUnless a man truly diesOh whyTime timeSign o the times mess with your mindHurry before its too lateLets fall in love, get married, have a babyWell call him hate...if its a boyTime timesTime timeWords and music : prince (c) controversy music, ascap 1987 reproduced without permission
