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
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

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
