Signs (Single Version)
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 up-standin' young man I think you'll do" So I took off my hat and 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 trespa*sin' Will 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 But 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 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 The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card To get inside" And the sign said, "Everybody welcome Come in, kneel down and pray" But when they pa*sed 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' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine" Whoo, 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
