#373 signs of the times


decades after the 5-man band
shared their lyrics
the scenery is blocked up more than ever
school-busses, washrooms, everywhere
if a man needs a sign to warn him
"slippery when wet"
or "caution" at the top of a scenic cliff
he has bigger problems
the more signs we have, the less they mean
the bigger and brighter they need to be to stand out
a society bill-bored to death
liability, marketability, irritability
what about responsibilty and morality
if you reach a T-stop
do you need the stop sign
we've reached a point
when we need to stop the signs
