Signs

VERSE 1

And the sign says long haired freaky people need not apply

So I tuck 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 cap and said imagine that, me working for you

CHORUS

Signs, signs, everywhere signs

Fuckin' up the scenery, messin' my mind

Do this, don't do that

C D riff (intro)

Can't you read the sign?

VERSE 2

And the sign read anybody caught tresspassing will be shot on site

So I jumped the fence and yelled at the house hey, what gives you the right

To put up a fence to keep me out, or to keep mother nature in

If God were here he'd tell it to your face, man you're some kind of sinner

CHORUSx1

And say now mister can't you read

you gotta have a shirt and tie to get a seat

you can't watch, no you cant eat

you aint supposed to be here

stop--

And the sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside

solo

(over chorus progression)

VERSE3

And the sign says everybody welcome come in kneel down and pray

And they passed the 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 out my own fuckin' sign

It said thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine

CHORUS x1
