I'm high up on your cross and I'm burning, burning  I couldn't give a toss I'm just a worm that's turning  Radical, oh so radical  Radical, oh so radical  I'll fight for your cause saying something's a disgrace  But if the trend changes then so can my face  That's comical, no now I'm cynical  That's comical, no now I'm cynical  Can't go under but it's time to decide  Time to decide  Can't go over 'cos its much too high  Sign of the times  I'm a martyr to my needs, I'm not a martyr of war  I'm not looking for sympathy I'm in search of applause  Well that's typical, oh so typical  That's typical, oh so typical  Can't go under but it's time to decide  Time to decide  Can't go over 'cos its much too high  Sign of the times  I wouldn't say I'm selfish, I'd just say I'm concerned  Politically motivated, help the flag get burned  Hey that's topical, I'm very topical  Hey that's topical, I'm very topical  Now I sing about love and I sing about castles  I've forgotten all my past and it's right on hassles  Hypocritical? No, it wasn't critical  Hypocritical? No, it wasn't critical  Can't go under but it's time to decide  Time to decide  Can't go over 'cos its much too high  Sign of the times
