Sign of the Times

This is disposable, throw it away

This is an animal, don't let it stray

That was the past so leave it behind

This is the future, it's all in our mindsFeeding your interest in between lines

Reading the caring one, sign of the times

This is your Englishman, this is his lawn

This is your female, undone and tornWe are the people and we really care

We don't really look, we just like to stare

Unprintable feelings that play on your mind

Get written in innocence, pretend we are blindPatience the virtue, not learnt in schools

Ha ha it's funny, to break all the rulesLawbreakers are broken and so we all share

The family problems, the paper that cares

Cheapest and brightest, sexiest news

We'll make up some stories with unbiased viewsWe are the people and we really care

We don't really look, we just like to stare

Unprintable feelings that play on your mind

Get written in innocence, pretend we are blind
