Sign of the Times
All that wack talk behind the fighting,
All diminished at the time of writing
And I hope you understand,
There’s no pride gained from spitting, biting.
An unhuman juggernaught baby,
Thought you were above the law,
But beat rolls on,budumdudumdum,
And the cold hard truth was what you saw.
Bet you never envisioned this,
Dirty painful, endless lines,
As the floor of your life becomes an abyss,
I suppose it’s simply a sign of the times.
A trooper brought to eternal pain,
Paranoia, what’s that sound,
The echoes could be heard from China,
The moment your ego hit the ground
At the time it seemed farflung,
But the beat rolls on budumbudumbum,
Noone heard your cry when your lover spun,
Now a broken heart and a punctured lung.
Bet you never envisioned this,
Dirty painful, endless lines,
As the floor of your life becomes an abyss,
I suppose it’s simply a sign of the times.
All liberties more than taken,
You seem to have lost any last control,
Life chews you, eats you, spits you out,
And throws you about like a paper doll.
Yet the cold hard truth that you just saw,
Throws you straight through an open door,
Jaded, naked, faded, raw,
You’re in a worse place than the time before.
Bet you never envisioned this,
Dirty painful, endless lines,
It’s the floor of your life that you just hit,
I suppose it’s simply a sign of the times.
