The Five Man Electrical Band
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 upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that, huh me working for you"
whoaaaa signs, signs, everywhere a sign
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that. Can't you read the signs?
And the sign said "anybody caught trespassing 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 it to your face man, you're some kind of sinner"
whoaaaa signs, signs, everywhere a sign
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
do this, don't do that. can't you read the signs?
"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"
and the sign said, "You got to have a membership card to get
inside"
UUUUUHHHHHH!
and the sign said, "everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
and 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' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine"
whoaaaa signs, signs, everywhere a sign
blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
do this, don't do that. can't you read the signs?
