Sign Of The Times

SIGN OF THE TIMES Gail Swanson/Kristy Jackson He’s standing on the corner, a billboard round his neck His crimes on a list, a social slap on the wrist Another morning to forget And it’s hard to make crime pay Yeah, it’s hard to make it today It’s a sign of the times, don’t close your eyes We’re walking a thin line The world’s spinning around so don’t look down While society unwinds… It’s a sign of the times Little kids buy the big guns for the big bad world Life is a scene on a video screen Where the pain’s never real And it’s hard, can’t get no bail Yeah, it’s hard, ain’t no pizza in jail (chorus) Princess in a tunnel, Angel in the night They broke her heart in a flash for some cold blooded cash And the whole world cried And it’s hard, it’s so black and white And it’s hard to crawl out of the darkness into the light
