Welcome to NEAD’s Civic Anthems These songs reflect the spirit of our movement out of Washington State District 26 — clarity, stewardship, and zoning in harmony. Lyrics by Rick Engley (Rick_N_Roll)
🎶 Signs of the Time Anthem: NEAD Transforms Lyrics by Rick Engley (Rick_N_Roll)
NEAD was born from codes unmet From signs dismissed, from towns upset Not a brand, not a billboard plea But ordinance clarity finally free
Zoning fractured, silence loud Municipal minds all lost in cloud But from the fragments came one way NEAD stood up with words to say
No pitch, no push, no salesy flash Just structure built from zoning stash Filed with purpose, laced with grace Signs aligned, not out of place
Not one man’s noise, but minds combined AI-powered, ordinance-designed Rick_N_Roll leads not to own But to steward beauty that’s always grown
So let them murmur, let them twist NEAD’s already filed — it won’t be missed It’s not a trend — it’s code revealed A movement drafted. A corridor sealed.
Signs of the times — carved in stone Not billboards fading where traffic has flown Corridor calls with structure and grace A monument stands where chaos had place
Not loopholed, not rushed — but properly set Zoned with intention, with beauty and debt The value we build isn’t seen from afar It’s the stewardship standard beneath every star
We banner the message, raise columns of thought Show cities what’s possible when red tape is not Royalties shared, compliance aligned This isn’t just signage — it’s NEAD redefined
Filed with conviction, forged in code This framework speaks where clutter erode Signs of the times — bold and sincere Welcome to NEAD. Legacy lives here.
🎶 Signs of the Time Anthem 2 (Groovy): NEAD Transforms
Rust in the frame and gravel in veins No more banners — just corridor remains Faded steel, stories untold The signs fell silent, the asphalt cold
Gray skies hang where promises cracked The corridor waits, its progress stacked Boards on windows, paint flaked and gone The past keeps whisperin’ something’s wrong
But out from silence, voices drum Zoning’s blueprint starts to hum Old land, new law, stakes get placed NEAD draws lines the future faced
Stone columns rise, not just to impress They speak in ordinance, beauty, finesse Filed, codified, built to endure Every design — intentional, pure
NEAD doesn’t scream — it stands A monument formed by civic hands No blight, no chaos, no broken signs Just structure that uplifts corridor lines
Rail towns echo in ballast and beam Vineyards stretch in rural dream Freight zones buzz with coded grace NEAD adapts to every place
From farmland markers to tech-front gates Beauty aligned with each state’s traits Corridor stories told in form NEAD keeps message bold and warm
Filed. Codified. Beautified. Every monument certified One sign at a time, we reframe the land America’s corridors in purpose stand
Not just signs — but stewardship bold NEAD turns legacy into gold From gravel roots to granite height This anthem rises — zoning’s light
