(Intro: ) 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 (+ intro suspensions) 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!" 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) (then slow) 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!" Signs, signs, everywhere signs Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the signs Signs, signs, everywhere signs Blockin' up the scenery, messin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the signs
