Sign Stealing Time (Song)
it’s sign-stealing time here in Berkeley
they're tearing up signs night and day
they’ll yank up your yard sign in seconds
it’s best to have nothing to say
for the rest of the year it’s graffiti
to have any opinion at all
but election time hear the phone ringing
and it’s never a personal call
celebrities suddenly write me
my mail overflows to the floor
and so many conflicting door hangers
I can’t even open my door
it’s sign stealing time here in Berkeley
it’s a popular sport and it’s free
free speech is respected in Berkeley
as long as all parties agree
