Signs (Live At The Trocadero / 1990)

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 look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do"

So I took off my hat

I said, "Imagine that, huh me working for you"

Oh, signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

Blocking 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

Eh, 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

Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Oh but say now, "Mister, can't you read?You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seatYou can't watch, no you can't eatYou ain't supposed to be here"

And the sign says, "You gotta have a membership cardTo get inside", uuh

And the sign says, "Everybody welcome, come in kneel down and prayBut then they passed around a plate at the end of it allAnd I didn't have a penny to paySo I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little signI said, "

Thank you

Lord for thinking about me,

I'm alive and doing fine"Signs, signs everywhere, there's signsBlocking up the scenery, breaking my mindDo this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?Signs, signs everywhere, there's signsBlocking up the scenery, breaking my mindDo this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
