"Sign O' The Times" lyrics
(originally by Prince)
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, toting 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 telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause 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 away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time
Baby makes a speech, and Star Wars fly
And neighbours just shine it on
But a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody hear the dawn?
Time
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everyone still wants to fly away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time
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, toting 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 telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause 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 away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time
Baby makes a speech, and Star Wars fly
And neighbours just shine it on
But a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody hear the dawn?
Time
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everyone still wants to fly away?
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time
