Sign of the Times

These people, they got me thinkin' once again
They got me redesigning the best made plans
They got me self defeating, in a world repeating
With the necessary evils dancing in the fields, once again

And I'm feeling spared, once again
And the shadows upholding once again
The sober diminishes again
And I'm feeling connected, once again
I'm feeling connected once again

Scapes of weary, scapes of loss
Dread the weary, dread the loss
Dread the thought of what it's gonna cost

It's restless power and failing means
I run for cover, and hope for dreams
Inside the cover are warning signs
It's a cover up for the sign of the times

These people, they got me thinkin' once again
They got me redesigning the best made plans
They got me self defeating, in a world repeating
With the necessary evils dancing in the fields, once again

Sign of the times
Sign of the times
Sign of the times

And I learned a way to play the game
So I found the biggest thing I could to burn
