Signs (Live at The Trocadero)

And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine outstandin' young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me workin' for you"

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassin' will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
"Hey! 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
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Oh, I sa, "Now mister, can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no, you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here"
And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside", uh

The sign says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
I so got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinkin' 'bout me
I'm alive, I've been doin' fine", oh

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign
