Would that be "Signs" by the "5 Man Electrical Band"...?!?...
From sometime around mid or late 1971...

(From 'neath the cobwebs)...

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 of my hat and said "Imagine that,
Huh!.. Me working for you!?"...

(chourus)
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign...
Mocking at the scenery, breaking my mind..
Do this.. Don't do that..
Can't you read the sign?!

And the sign said, "All tresspassers -
will be shot on sight!"
So I jumped over the fence and I yelled to the house,
"Hey!.. What gives you the right?..
To put up a fancy 'keep me out'..
or to keep Mother Nature in...
If God were here he'd tell you to your face..
'Man, you're some kind of sinner!"..

(chourus)
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign......

Now hey there mister can't you read?..
You have to to have a suit and tie to get a seat..
You can't even talk no, you can't eat...
You ain't supposed to BE HERE!!!
And the sign said, "You got to have a membership card
to GET INSIDE!"!... Huh!?!

(bridge)

And the sign said, "everyone welcome to come in
to 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 thinking about me,
I'm alive and doin' fine"!... Woo!...

(chourus again)
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign....
