Signs Lyrics - Singles - Five Man Electrical Band

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, I said, "Imagine that, huh, me workin' for you" 

Whoa, oh, oh 

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 on sight 

So, I jumped on the fence and-a 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 you to your face, man, you're some kinda 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'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 

The sign said, You got to have a membership card to get inside, ugh 

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

But 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, woo 

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 

Sign 

Sign, sign
