In the sunset, 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, outstanding young man, oh yeah, I think you'll do And so I pulled off my hat, I said, imagine that, hey, me working for you Oh, signs, signs, everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind Don't do this, don't do that, can you read the sign? And the sign said anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, hey, what gives you the right To pull up the 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 kind of sinner Signs, signs, everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind Don't do this, don't do that, can you read the sign? Well, listen, Mr. Can't You Read? You gotta have a shirt and a tie to get a seat You can't watch, no, you can't eat No, you ain't supposed to be here And the sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray So they passed around a plate at the end of it all But I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pencil and a paper and I wrote my own little sign It said thank you, Lord, for thinking of me I'm alive and doing fine, yeah Signs, signs, everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind Do this, don't do that, can you read the sign? Signs, signs, everywhere a sign Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind Do this, don't do that, can you read the sign?
