Sign O the Times (The Hits Mix) [Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1987]

-------------------------------

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 Time



Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church

And killed everyone inside

U turn on the telly and every other story

Is tellin' U somebody died



Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it

And we're sending people 2 the moon

In September my cousin tried reefer 4 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 2 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's silly, no?

When a rocket blows

And everybody still wants 2 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 2 late

Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby

We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy
