Sign O' The Times - Simple Minds

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, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church

And killed everyone inside

You turn on the telly and every other story

Is tellin' you somebody died

Sister killed her baby 'cuz 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

Some say a man ain’t happy

Unless a man truly dies

Oh why

Time

Baby makes a speech, and Star Wars fly

And neighbors just shine it on

But a night falls and a bomb falls

Will anybody see the dawn

It’s silly, no'

When a rocket ship explodes

And everyone still wants to fly

Some say a man ain’t happy

Unless a man truly dies

Oh why, time
