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 seventeen-year-old boys, and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples, high on crack, and toting 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 telling you somebody died
My sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it
Yet we're sending people to the moon
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
Is it silly, no?
When a rocket blows up
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
