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.
