Five Man Electrical BandSigns Lyrics:
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 upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Ha, me workin' for you"
Whoa, 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'
Will 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
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face
'Man, you're some kind of 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 got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no, you can't even
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said
“You've got to have a membership card
To get inside, uh”
And the sign said
"Everybody welcome, come in
Kneel down and pray"
And when the 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"
Whoo! Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?
