Ode To My Tye Dye

It's ever so lovely In colors galore My pretty new tye dye I got at the store It was a white t-shirt So plain for to see But now it's got colors So come, look at me! It gets me in free At the Grateful Dead show It tells other hippies That I'm in the know I never do wash it When it starts to soil I throw me some beet juice and patchouli oil In a big metal pot And swirl it about It comes out all stripey All the people shout "Hey you, hippie freak What the hell's with the shirt?" I smile at them blankly Their words do not hurt But the heavy rocks do As they hurl them at me

My tye dye turns reddish In bloody misery I think to myself "Hey maybe they're right Being a nostalgic hippie Being stoned every night Is just pointless and stupid Don't give me the plan To free clothes and food stamps And hating the man Think I'll throw 'way this tye dye..." But then I remember the fun I had At Jerry's last show and how Individual all of us Thousands of fans are Cause we all dressed And thought the same And oh yeah can you spare A joint and some change?
