Big Ben chimes and the time is right
Dancing halls and out all night
The world's too fast
But that won't last
It's just a Sign o' the Times that we're in

People living out in the street
Somebody starves while somebody eats
There's too much dope
And not enuf hope
It's just a Sign o' the Times that we're in

And when our time has come
We'll see just who has won

Faster cars and faster planes
Men in space and acid rain
There's too much sin
And no giving in
It's just a Sign o' the Times that we're in
