It was originally done by the Five Man Electrical Band and then redone by Tesla in the 80's
Tesla - Signs Lyrics
(Arthur Thomas)
[Originally by The Five Man Electrical Band)
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 outstanding young man, I think
you'll do
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for
you"
[Chorus:]
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
******' up the scenery, breakin' 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
[Chorus]
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" - uh!
[Solo]
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 a paper and I made up my own ******'
sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and
doing fine", oh
[Chorus 2x]
Yes! Some old song, called "Signs Signs", I wish we did write
that one, but
We didn't - wow!

Tesla covered it in 1990, but the original artist was Five Man Electrical Band.
