And the sign says, “Long haired freaky people need not apply”
So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him, “why?”
He said, “You look like a fine outstanding young man,
I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat, I said, “Imagine that, huh? Me? Working for you?”
Oh, signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
“Do this”, “don’t do that”, “can’t you read the sign?”
And the sign says, “Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight”
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
“Hey, what gives you the right?
To put up a fence and keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, He’d tell it to your face, ‘Man you’re some kind of sinner’.”
Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
“Do this”, “don’t do that”, “can’t you read the sign?”
Oh but say now, “Mister, can’t you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can’t watch, no you can’t eat,
You ain’t supposed to be here”
And the sign says, “You gotta have a membership card to get inside”, uuh
And the sign says, “Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray”
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And 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”
Signs, signs everywhere, there’s signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
“Do this”, “don’t do that”, “can’t you read the sign?”
Signs, signs everywhere, there’s signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
“Do this”, “don’t do that”, “can’t you read the sign?”
