Lyrics:

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)







You're beautiful more beautiful than me

You're honorable more honorable than me

Loyal to the Bank of America



(chorus 1)

It's a sign of the times

It's a sign of the times



(chorus 2)

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals

To improve your business acumen

Sharpening stones, walking on coals,

To improve your business acumen



Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize

Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America



(repeat chorus 1)



(repeat chorus 2)



Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik

Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America



'Let us not assassinate this man further Senator,

You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?

At long last, have you left no sense of decency?'



We're sharpening stones, walking on coals

To improve your business acumen

Sharpening stones, walking on coals,

To improve your business acumen



Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik

You've seen start and you've seen quit

(I'm addressing the table of content)

I always thought of you as quick

Exhuming McCarthy

(Meet me at the book burning)

Exhuming McCarthy

(Meet me at the book burning)

Exhuming McCarthy

(Meet me at the book burning)

Exhuming McCarthy

(Meet me at the book burning)
