You're right, this song should be our National Anthem

Grateful Dead
U.S. Blues
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia


Red and white,
blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam,
how do you do
Gimme five, still alive
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stay seventy two, come shine or rain
Wave the flag, cop a bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am
Been hiding out, in a rock and roll band!

Shake the hand that shook the hand
Of P. T. Barnum and Charlie Chan!
Shine your shoes, light your fuse
Can you use them old U.S. Blues
I'll drink your health, share your wealth
Run your life, steal your wife
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

2. The Empire State Building knows what's up!

[MrScorpio]

3. I'm afraid that this will be our national anthem instead.

4. Air Garcia!

5. That John Mayer is sooooooo dreamy!

[Nevernose]

6. A conspiracy theorist's dream come true

There were a faction of Deadheads that believed for YEARS that this was a coded message, a cry for help, that Jerry had been blackmailed into being an undercover federal informant.

7. And 5-8-77 never happened, it was created by the CIA

, to lure unsuspecting heads into the larger CIA web that was The Grateful Dead.....

8. Another reason to vote Al Franken in 2020!

He would certainly support the change.
