It's silly, no, when a rocket ship explodes
Now he's doing horse, it's June
It's silly, no, when a rocket blows
By chance, his girlfriend came across a needle
High on crack, totin' a machine gun
And everybody still wants to fly
In September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Time, times
And their idea of fun
Neighbors just shine it on
Some say, a man ain't happy
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Sign o' the times, mess with your mind
Is tellin' you somebody died
Time, time
Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Hurry before it's too late
Times, times
And soon she did the same
We'll call him Nate, if it's a boy
Died of a big disease with a little name
Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
Some say, a man ain't happy, truly
At home, there are seventeen year old boys
Will anybody see the dawn?
Sister killed her baby 'cuz she couldn't afford to feed it
And we're sending people to the moon
In France, a skinny man
And killed everyone inside
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
And everybody still wants to fly
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
Until a man truly dies
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
Time, times
Time, time
You turn on the telly and every other story
