Signs

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 upstandin' young man

I think you'll do"

So I took off my hat

I said, "Imagine that, huh, me workin' for you"

Whoa

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin'

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

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey, you, mister, can't you read?

You've 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

Uh

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 thinkin' about me

I'm alive and doin' fine," woo

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Sign, sign
