Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, and space rock, and for live performances of long musical improvisation. "Their music," writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world."

There must be some way outta here 
Said the joker to the thief 
There's too much confusion here 
I can't get no relief 
Businessmen, they drink my wine 
Plowmen dig my earth 
None of them know along the line 
What any of this is worth, yeah 

No reason to get excited 
The thief, he kindly spoke 
There are many among us 
Who think that life is but a joke 
But you and I, we've been through that 
And that is not our fate 
So let us not talk falsely now 
Because the hour is getting late, hey, hey, hey 

All along the watchtower 
Princes kept the view 
While horsemen came and went 
Barefoot servants, too 

All I got is a red guitar 
Three chords and the truth 
All I got is a red guitar 
The rest is up to you 

There's no reason to get excited 
The thief, he kindly spoke 
There are some among us here 
Say that life is just a joke 
You and I, we've been through that 
And that is not our fate, at least today 
So let us not talk falsely now 
Because the hour is getting late, late 
Yeah
