Sign Of The Times
Queensryche · The Art Of Live [2004]
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...
