Intro/Sign O' The Times (Live in Utrecht, The Netherlands 6/20/87)

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

Times, times

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church and killed everyone inside

You turn on the telly and every other story is tellin' you somebody died

My sister killed her baby 'cause she couldn't afford to feed it

And we're sending people to the moon

In September my cousin tried reefer for 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 to 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

Is it silly, no?

When a rocket blows up

And everybody still wants to fly

Some say a man ain't happy, truly

Until a man truly dies

Oh, why?

Oh, why?

Sign o' the Times

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
