Lyrics
0:28You wanna watch it all fall apart
0:31Every time I walk I watch
0:33I look I notice
0:34I observe
0:34I read the signs
0:36And the signs are pointing in the wrong direction
0:39The signs are not naming the streets
0:41Or leading you to the highways
0:42The signs are naming names
0:44Tombstones to mark the death of children not even born
0:47And I don't mean abortion
0:48I mean what is to come
0:51The signs are telling me to turn back around
0:53The signs are telling me to research my past
0:55The signs are telling me to learn from my mistakes
0:58The signs are asking me questions
1:01Do you wanna watch it all fall apart
1:03Do you have any control
1:05Is there anything that you can do
1:08Time is not a nice person
1:10I know because the sign said it
1:12Time can be generous
1:13But ultimately time is indifferent
1:15Time does not give two damns or a f**k
1:18So what will you do
1:20What will we do
1:22So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs
1:24And people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing
1:26Like This mothaf**ker's crazy
1:29But do they not see the signs
1:32Do you not see the signs
2:16If there is one thing in this world
2:17That you can depend on
2:18That you can bet your last dollar on
2:20It's the ignorance of the American people
2:23But still I have faith
2:26But still I read the signs
2:29They are indeed there
2:31Some of us are lost
2:32And will not find our way
2:33No matter what the signs say
2:36Some of us do not see the signs because
2:37We are too busy shopping
2:40Some of us do not see the signs because
2:41We can't help but stop
2:42And look at the accidents and stare
2:46We are in a daze
2:48We are amazed by the world's displays
2:51Some of us do not see the signs because
2:52We are giving spare change to the homeless
2:55We are getting gas
2:56We are volunteering for duty
2:58And we are watching television
3:00We are driving around in circles on spinners
3:02And we are working eight to six
3:05We are on our way to the club
3:06We are high we are drunk and we are sober
3:09And we do not see the signs
3:12We are listening to a moron babble
3:14We are listening to tongues that lie
3:16We give them an ear
3:17We give them a hand
3:18We give them both eyes
3:20So we cannot see the signs
3:24There are children playing in the streets
3:26And they cannot read the signs
3:28They are only children
3:33Stop
3:36Stop
3:38I fear there is no U-turn
3:41And that this road dead-ends
3:42Because we cannot read the signs
3:45Do you not see the signs
3:47We must read the signs
3:51And we must turn around
3:54We must turn around
3:56We gotta turn this sh*t around
4:00And we gotta read the signs
4:04We must read the signs
4:08We must read the signs
4:11We must read the signs
4:15We gotta read the signs
4:18We gotta turn this sh*t around
4:21We must turn this sh*t around
4:25We gotta turn this sh*t around
4:28We must turn this sh*t around
You wanna watch it all fall apart Every time I walk I watch I look I notice I observe I read the signs And the signs are pointing in the wrong direction The signs are not naming the streets Or leading you to the highways The signs are naming names Tombstones to mark the death of children not even born And I don't mean abortion I mean what is to come The signs are telling me to turn back around The signs are telling me to research my past The signs are telling me to learn from my mistakes The signs are asking me questions Do you wanna watch it all fall apart Do you have any control Is there anything that you can do Time is not a nice person I know because the sign said it Time can be generous But ultimately time is indifferent Time does not give two damns or a f**k So what will you do What will we do So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs And people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing Like This mothaf**ker's crazy But do they not see the signs Do you not see the signs If there is one thing in this world That you can depend on That you can bet your last dollar on It's the ignorance of the American people But still I have faith But still I read the signs They are indeed there Some of us are lost And will not find our way No matter what the signs say Some of us do not see the signs because We are too busy shopping Some of us do not see the signs because We can't help but stop And look at the accidents and stare We are in a daze We are amazed by the world's displays Some of us do not see the signs because We are giving spare change to the homeless We are getting gas We are volunteering for duty And we are watching television We are driving around in circles on spinners And we are working eight to six We are on our way to the club We are high we are drunk and we are sober And we do not see the signs We are listening to a moron babble We are listening to tongues that lie We give them an ear We give them a hand We give them both eyes So we cannot see the signs There are children playing in the streets And they cannot read the signs They are only children Stop Stop I fear there is no U-turn And that this road dead-ends Because we cannot read the signs Do you not see the signs We must read the signs And we must turn around We must turn around We gotta turn this sh*t around And we gotta read the signs We must read the signs We must read the signs We must read the signs We gotta read the signs We gotta turn this sh*t around We must turn this sh*t around We gotta turn this sh*t around We must turn this sh*t around
