Lyrics Sign O' The Times (Edit - 2020 Remaster) - Prince
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, 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 rocketship 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?
Time, times
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
Time, time
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
Time
