SIGNS LYRICS Five Man Electrical Band
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! [Lead Guitar] 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
Quote ONe Emmerson on writing Signs: ``We were driving along a highway in the U.S. and there were advertising signs everywhere. I thought, `what a shame to cover up this lovely country.' ''
Quote 2 Rading on hearing about Signs doing well on the charts: "I had gone to get beer to toast the fact the ball game was over and so was the band. Then we got a call from one of our people. He said the record was on its way and we'd better get going."
My own view on this is that i think its about this company not letting hippy people work there and thats discrimmination. the sound shows them rebeling by tresspassin to shout at them. i think this was a good and never really knew what it meant until now
