Heading for the classroom yesterday

The kids file through the metal machine

It finds what they may hide

No it just ain't right...

A sign of the times



Another church is burning to the ground...

Looking for the vandals and they're nowhere to be found

But the hate's alive

A sign of the times, Sign of the times...

A sign of the times, Sign of the times...



Would someone please let me know how we have spun out of control?

Has the captain let go of the wheel?

Or could we please try to find a way to be a bit more kind?

I see the road to tomorrow in the haze!



On the Senate floor they congregate

Many pockets lined with green,

From those behind the scenes, yeah they take the bribe (it's on the side)

A sign of the times, Sign of the times...

A sign of the times, Sign of the times...
