All I Need to Know About the Democratic Party I Learned From the Grateful Dead

Most of the cats that you meet in the street speak of true love,
Most of the time, they're sittin' and cryin' at home.
One of these days, they know they better be goin'
outta' the door, and down to the street all alone!
--Truckin', 1970

Goes to show, you don't ever know --
watch each card you play, and play it slow!
--Deal, 1972

Like I told ya, what I said --
steal your face right off your head!
--He's Gone, 1972

Back-to-back, chicken shack,
son-of-a-gun better change your act!
We're all confused! What's to lose?
You can call this song the United States Blues!
--U.S. Blues, 1974

The bottle stands as empty as it was filled before --
time there was, and plenty, but from that cup, no more.
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
don't lend a hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools!
--Ship Of Fools, 1974
