Sign of the Times

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

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...
