[Intro] Oh yeah [Verse 1]

Cm7
In France a skinny man

Died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle

Cm7
And soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen-year-old boys And their idea of fun

Cm7
Is being in a gang called The Disciples

High on crack, totin' a machine gun Time, time [Verse 2]

Cm7
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church

And killed everyone inside You turn on the telly and every other story

Cm7
Is tellin' you somebody died

Sister killed her baby 'cuz she couldn't afford to feed it And we're sending people to the moon

Cm7
In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time

Now he's doing horse, it's June Times, times [Chorus 1]

Fm7add11
It's silly no? When the rocket ship explodes

And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't truly happy

  Gm7add11          Fm7add11
Unless a man truly dies

  Gm7add11
Oh why?

Cm7
Time ... Time

[Verse 3]

Cm7
Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly

Neighbors just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls

Cm7
Will anybody see the dawn

Time, times [Chorus 2]

Fm7add11
It's silly no? When the rocket ship explodes

And everybody still wants to fly Some say a man ain't truly happy

  Gm7add11          Fm7add11
Unless a man truly dies

  Gm7add11
Oh why?

Cm7
Time, time

[Outro]

Cm7
Sign o' the times mess with your mind

Hurry before it's too late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby

Cm7
We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

Time, time Time, time
