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
