It's a sign of the times, standing in line Quietly waiting to go out of your mind There's nothing to say, no reason to stay To fight for the right that they have taken away Get what you get, not what you need Time after time * Rags to riches, all fallen down Rags to riches, tied up and bound There's no going under When you're kicked to the ground Rags to riches..rags to riches You're down on your knees, caught in the freeze Crying inside but there's no easy release Radical views--in yesterday news Giving the reason with another excuse Out on your own, cut to the bone Time after time Repeat * (2x) (written and arranged by Nazareth) Copyright 1983 Fool Circle Limited All rights reserved
