Signs

Verse 1:

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!

Heh, 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 out of sight

So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house

"Hey, what gives you the right?

You put up a fence to keep me out but to keep Mother Nature in,

If God was here he'd tell you to your face,

"Man you're some kind of sinner!"

Chorus:

Now hey there mister can't you read?

You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can't even watch, no you can't even

You ain't supposed to be here...

Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside. Uhhh!

Instrumental

Verse 2:

And the sign said "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"

But when they passed around the plate and they emptied 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!"

Chorus:

Now hey there mister can't you read?

You gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can't even watch, no you can't even

You ain't supposed to be here...

Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside. Uhhh!

Chorus:

Signs, signs, everywhere signs

Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind

Do this, don't do that

Can't you read the signs

In the meantime, the chorus goes

Signs, signs, everywhere signs

Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind

Do this, don't do that

Can't you read the signs
