[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Time
Time

[Verse 2]
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church and killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story is tellin' you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it
Yet we're sending people to the moon
September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

[Refrain]
Times
Times

[Chorus]
It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until he truly dies
Oh, why?
Times
Times
[Verse 3]
Baby, make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbours just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn?

[Refrain]
Time
Time

[Chorus]
It's silly, no?
When a rocket blows up
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say man ain't happy, truly
Until he truly dies
Oh, why?
Times
Times
(Times)

[Outro]
Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
(We'll call him Nate if it's a boy)
