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 upstanding young man, I think you'll do" 
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!" 
Whoa-oh-oh 

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign 
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind 
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign? 

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight 
So I jumped on the fence and-a 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 was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda 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've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat 
You can't even watch, no you can't eat 
You ain't supposed to be here 
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside 
Ugh!

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray" 
But when they 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." 
Wooo! 

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign 
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind 
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign? 

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign 
Sign 
Sign, sign
