Signs Lyrics

and the sign said long-haired, freaky people
need not apply
so i tucked my hair up under my hat
and i went in to ask him why
he said you look like a fine upstanding young man,
i think you'll do
so i took off my hat and said imagine that!
ha! me, working for you!

oh, sign, sign, everywhere a sign
blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind
do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

and the sign said anybody caught trespassing
would be shot on sight
so i jumped on the fence and i yelled at the house
hey! what gives you the right
to put up a fence to keep me out
or to keep mother nature in?
if god was here he'd tell you to your face
man you're some kind of sinner

sign, sign, everywhere a sign
blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

now hey you mister, can't you read?
you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
you can't even watch, no you can't eat
you ain't supposed to be here

sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside

and the sign said everybody welcome
come in, kneel down and pray
but when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
i didn't have a penny to pay
so i got me a pen and a paper
and i made up my own little sign
i said thank you lord for thinking about me
i'm alive and doing fine

sign, sign, everywhere a sign
blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
