Jimmy Clifton - Signs Of The Times Lyrics

You say that you are wise
Because you studied for four years
You say to open my eyes
But when I did, it only brought me tears
You say I'm a privileged man
By the color of my face
But I know a Christian
Isn't relevant today
You discern the face of the sky
But cannot discern the signs of the times
Ohh, ohh
You say that you're oppressed
O fellow man, take a look at these scars
You're lazy and depressed
The devil's got you behind bars
There is a way
To be free from your mind
But you can't earn or pay
This path you've just gotta find
You discern the face of the sky
But cannot discern the signs of the times
Ohh, ohh
You say to do your best
And God will understand
O foolish man I should've guessed
You were sinking in that sand
I say there's a better fate
O don't you try to heavy lift
And it ain't religion or the state
But rather a God give gift
And you discern the face of the sky
But cannot discern the signs of the times
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Dear Christian man
I would have you to flee
This hypocrite is at hand
With his pornography
But there is hope still for you
From sin you have been relieved
'Cause you were crucified too
That day you believed
You discern the face of the sky
But cannot discern the signs of the times
You discern the face of the sky
But cannot discern the signs of the times
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
