In France, a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance, his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, time...
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
A sister killed her baby
'Cuz she couldn't afford to feed it
And we're sending people to the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer
For the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June
Time, time...
It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly away?
But some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time...
Baby, make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbours just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody hear the dawn?
Time...
Is it silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly away?
Some say that man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?...
Time...
