Signs is a 1972 song that greatly popularized the somewhat unknown Canadian rock group simply dubbed Five Man Electrical Band, who wrote and performed it for their second album, Good-byes and Butterflies. The lyrics explain how our world is filled with simplistic literature and express many difficult situations that the common man experiences.

"Signs" was originally released in 1970 as the B-side to the unsuccessful single "Hello Melinda Goodbye". Re-released in 1971 on the A-side, "Signs" reached number 3 on the Billboard charts.

The song was famously coverwed and recorded live by Tesla for their Five Man Acoustical Jam album in 1991, peaking at number 8 on the Pop charts.

The opening line of the song was sampled by Fatboy Slim for his song "Don't Let The Man Get You Down", from his Palookaville album.
