Flying a Sign Lyrics by Dave Nachmanoff

0

Some stand there with their children, some stand there with their dogs
Some don't have a place to sleep and most can't find a job
We all of us drive past 'em, don't stop and take the time
To think of how we might be flying a sign
CHORUS:
Flying a sign, flying a sign
It's a white flag of surrender it's a sign of the times
Flying a sign, flying a sign
“I will work for food or money” so I'm flying a sign
One grew up in the ghetto, one grew up on a farm
One went to Vietnam where he lost most of an arm
One gave his life to the company, 40 years down on the line
All hoped for more, but now they're flying a sign
CHORUS
Some would call it begging, and some say it's a crime
An ablebody could find work if they were really trying
In a country with no safety net to catch the sick or dyin'
There's a thousand reasons for someone to fly a sign
CHORUS
For some of them it's just their job, for some of them it's not
They stand with freezing fingers and with fever burning hot
In a country rich as this one
Don't you think it's almost time that nobody should have to fly a sign
CHORUS
