"Signs" lyrics - THE COWSILLS

Hey you, traveler, I've been wondering,
Say can you tell me why people pass them by.
They don't read them, never heed them.
Hey listen to the signs you don't have to cry.

I keep 'a telling you and me,
Life is meant to be.
(One way to drive killing you you killing me)

Stop sign, red light, one way, keep right,
Still half a million died on the road last year.

Bear, deer crossing, pheasant walking,
No time to stop the car, we killed it. Drop a tear. Drop.

Why can't they see? Signs were meant to be,
(A wonderful way for them to you from me.)

Don't run, don't splash, don't move, or pass,
Too many careless people never take dare glance.
Don't rest, don't swear, lifeguard nowhere,
So jump into the water.
Why not take a chance?

Oh I wish they'd understand,
That a sign never take command
It's a warning in disguise.
(Keep from giving all you can.)

Hey there, traveler, I've still wondering,
Say can you tell me why people pass them by?
Just listen to the signs you don't have to cry.
Hey listen to the signs you don't have to die.

Hey there traveler,
Can you tell me why people pass them by?
They don't read them, never heed them.
