Prince — Sign O The Times

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 Time Times Time Time
