[Intro]
Love sign
Love sign
Get up
Love sign
Get up
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Get up
[Chorus]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and forevermore
Two signs of the time
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
Time is passing, passing the time
[Verse 1]
In a chariot of red and gold
The cool, fuzzy voice said "Come save your soul"
Before the fear of rejection reared its head
He stood before the masses and calmly said
[Chorus]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and forevermore
Two signs of the time
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
Time is passing, passing the time
[Verse 2]
In the day of where and why we all belong
Don't nobody want to hear a silly love song
And if they did then we would sing it on the news
While you're aiming your gun at me and I'm aiming back at you
[Chorus]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and forevermore
Two signs of the time
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
Time is passing, passing the time
[Refrain]
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Get up
[Verse 3]
If you only had one year left to live
What good is the time you spend if you got no love to give?
Let's all get up off the front and find a cause to back
Then we could teach the babies replications of the act, of the act
[Chorus]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and forevermore
Two signs of the time
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
Time is passing, passing the time
[Chorus]
If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the love sign once and forevermore
Two signs of the time
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the love sign everybody and not the gun
Time is passing, passing the time
[Refrain]
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
[Outro]
Show us the love sign, we want the love sign
Show us the love sign
Show us the love sign we want the love sign
Show us the love sign
Love sign
Pop, pop, pop go the pistol
Bang, bang, bang go the gun
