Dave Nachmanoff - Flying a Sign lyrics

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
