Warning Sign is a song about the future “things to come”, a future made of fear of something, which you have to warn about, made of imperatives, instructions, that is, constrictions and no freedom, but lot of aesthetic and very vain things, like hair design and their movement.
Sex also is something natural but money is needed (“I’ve got money now, c’mon baby”), that is, sex is just about prostitution, for “love has gone away”.
The past and remembering have no importance (“I don’t care what I remember”), this means a lack of identity, life becomes a crazy race without any sense.
I think this is an amazing prophetic song about times to come in 1978 - a future that was predictable then, and surely it depicts very well the society we’re living in now.
