Signs

And the sign says
"Long hair freaky people
Need not apply"

So I put my hair under my hat
And I went in
To ask him why

He said you looklike a fine
Outstanding young man
I think you'll do

So I took off my hat
I said "Imagine that
Me working for you"

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

And the sign says
"Anybody caught trespassing
Will be shot on sight"

So I jumped the fence
And I yelled at the house
Hey, what gives you the right

To put up a fence
And 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

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Oh, say now mister
Can't you read
You got to have a shirt
And tie to get a seat

You can't watch
No you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says
"You got to have a membership card
To get inside"

And the sign says
"Everybody welcome 
Come in, kneel down and pray"

But then they passed around a plate
At the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and paper
And I made up my own fucking sign
I said, thank you Lord for thinking about me
I'm alive and doing fine

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign
