I got no reason to lie to you
I've done everything I can to pull you thru'
But still you don't believe me
You think I'm just another symptom

I'm just a sign of the times
And it's been a good year for saying your prayers
And it's been a good year

For putting on airs
It could have been a good year
I know this understanding is hard to do
It's just as hard for me girl
As it is for you

I know you're feeling helpless
You think I'm just another symptom
I'm just a sign of the times
And it's been a good year for saying your prayers
And it's been a good year

For putting on airs
It could have been a good year
I got no reason to lie to you
I've done everything I can to pull you thru'
But still you don't believe me
