Tesla:Signs
From LyricWiki

On Time's Makin' Changes-Best Of (1995) by Tesla

And the sign says "long hair freaky people need not apply"
So I put 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 hat I said "Imagine that Huh Me working for you"

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Blocking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing 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
Blocking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Oh Say 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" Huh

And 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
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign
I said Thank you Lord for thinking about me I'm alive and doing fine

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Blocking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
Blocking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Answer 6

Five Man Electrical Band was the original band.

However, Tesla, rocked that same song in the early 90's, and in tribute the album was titled "Five Man Acoustical Jam". This was back when MTV Unplugged was a big hit, as a matter of fact, that song played by Tesla is what started the whole MTV Unplugged show. That was back when MTV was actually still about Music and not all the rotten "reality" crap it is strewn about with now.

Answer 7

Five Man Electrical Band did the original. Tesla did a remake of that song on their "Five Man Acoustical Jam" cd.

Answer 8
