“And the sign said “Long haired freaky people need not apply”
\nSo I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
\nHe said “You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you’ll do”
\nSo I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that huh! Me working for you!
\nWhoa-oh-oh<\/p>\n
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
\nBlockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
\nDo this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?<\/p>\n
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin’ would be shot on sight
\nSo I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house
\n“Hey! what gives you the right?
\nTo put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
\nIf God was here he’d tell you to your face, man, you’re some kinda sinner”<\/p>\n
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
\nBlockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
\nDo this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?<\/p>\n
Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
\nYou’ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
\nYou can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
\nYou ain’t supposed to be here
\nThe sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
\nUgh!<\/p>\n
And the sign said, “Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray”
\nBut when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
\nI didn’t have a penny to pay
\nSo I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
\nI said “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ bout me. I’m alive and doin’ fine’
\nWooo!<\/p>\n
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
\nBlockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
\nDo this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?<\/p>\n
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
\nSign
\nSign, sign”<\/p>\n
