VERSE 2
And the sign read anybody caught tresspassing will be shot on site
So I jumped the fence and yelled at the house hey,  what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,  or to keep mother nature in
If God were here he'd tell it to your face,  man you're some kind of sinner

VERSE3
And the sign says everybody welcome come in kneel down and pray
And they passed the plate at the end of it all
and I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and paper, and I made out my own fuckin' sign
It said thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine
 CHORUS x1
End
