I'm asking this here to get a religious perspective. Here are the lyrics:
Heading for the classroom yesterday
The kids file through the metal machine
It finds what they may hide
No it just ain't right...
A sign of the times
Another church is burning to the ground...
Looking for the vandals and they're nowhere to be found
But the hate's alive
A sign of the times, Sign of the times...
Would someone please let me know how we have spun out of
control?
Has the captain let go of the wheel?
Or could we please try to find a way to be a bit more kind?
I see the road to tomorrow in the haze!
On the Senate floor they congregate
Many pockets lined with green,
From those behind the scenes, yeah they take the bribe ( it's on the side )
A sign of the times, Sign of the times...
The song is by Queensryche. It's called "Sign of the Times." Thoughts on this?
I'll share mine once I get some answers.

Realistically, I think some of their signs are a stretch but, then again, it's a song, not an op ed piece. I would have picked another example for hate - church burnings are not that common these days. Also the problem with the Congress is not, strictly speaking, bribes. Still, they are right that Congress follows the golden rule - those who have the gold make the rules.
Having lived longer than the members of Queensryche I too mourn the times as they are. We do seem to have lost our way.
