Whose that standing on the corner
Whose that lying on the street
Whose that standing at the food truck
waiting for something to eat
Just walk on by brother
It's just a sign of the times

Why is that lady wearing a mask on her face
Why can't that child  hardly breathe
What's that dark gloominess hanging over the sky
What's that floating around way up high
Just walk on by brother
It's just a sign of the times

What's that cloudiness in the water we drink
Why are those dead animals lying on the river bank
Why does the rain leave filth on my windshield
Why don't my plants grow in the fields
Just walk on by brother 
It's just a sign of the times

Why are the fruit covered with wax
What's that they are spraying on the vegetables and plants
What kind of chemicals and drugs are they injecting into the meat
Where are the vitamins in the food that we need
Pay it no mind brother, I already told you 
It's just a sign of the times
