  1. The Sign Feat. Pase Rock lyrics by Nujabes
    You wanna watch it fall apart
    Every time I walk I watch
    I look, I notice, I observe
    I read the signs
    And the signs are pointing in the wrong direction
    The signs are not naming the streets
    or leading you to the highways
    the signs are naming names
    tombstones to mark the death of children not even born
    and I don't mean abortion I mean what is to come
    The signs are telling me to turn back around
    the signs are telling me to research my past
    the signs are telling me to learn from my mistakes
    the signs are asking me questions
    Do you wanna watch it all fall apart?
    Do you have any control?
    Is there anything that you can do?
    Time is not a nice person
    I know because the sign said it
    time can be generous but ultimately time is indifferent
    time does not give two damns or a fuck
    So what will you do?
    What will we do?
    So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs
    and people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing
    like, 'This mothafucker's crazy!'
    But do they not see the signs?
    Do you not see the signs?
    If there is one thing in this world
    that you can depend on
    that you can bet your last dollar on
    it's the ignorance of the American people
    But still I have faith
    But still I read the signs
    They are indeed there
    Some of us are lost
    and will not find our way
    no matter what the signs say
    Some of us do not see the signs because
    [ Nujabes The Sign Feat. Pase Rock lyrics found on http://www.lyricsoncall.com/lyrics/nujabes/the-sign-feat-pase-rock-lyrics.html ]
    we are too busy shopping.
    Some of us do not see the signs because
    we can't help but stop and look at the accidents and stare
    We are in a daze
    We are amazed by the world's displays
    Some of us do not see the signs because
    we are giving spare change to the homeless
    we are getting gas
    we are volunteering for duty
    and we are watching television
    We are driving around in circles on spinners
    and we are working eight to six
    We are on our way to the club
    we are high, we are drunk, and we are sober
    and we do not see the signs
    We are listening to a moron babble
    we are listening to tongues that lie
    we give them an ear
    we give them a hand
    we give them both eyes
    so we cannot see the signs
    There are children playing in the streets
    and they cannot read the signs
    They are only children
    Stop.
    Stop!
    I fear there is no U-turn
    and that this road dead-ends
    because we cannot read the signs
    Do you not see the signs?
    We must read the signs
    and we must turn around
    we must turn around
    we gotta turn this shit around
    and we gotta read the signs
    we must read the signs...
    we must read the signs...
    we must read the signs...
    we gotta read the signs...
    we gotta turn this shit around...
    we must turn this shit around...
