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 scen'ry. 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?
