and the sign said longhaired 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
whoaohoh
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 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 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
in album version only
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
wooo
sign sign everywhere a sign
blockin’ out the scenery breakin’ my mind
do this don’t do that can’t you read the sign
