100,000 Tons Of Steel Lyrics

Cover art for 100,000 Tons Of Steel lyrics by Grateful Dead

Actually, you're all about 400 tons of Steel short... the name of the song is 900,000 tons of steel and it is a rippin representation of the Grateful Dead's coming to mainstreet America and actually getting a mention on the billboard charts with Touch of Grey. Written by a permanently acid-entranced Bearded Brent Mydland, this one took Spector's wall of sound and put it to good work. What it means, like most Grateful Dead songs is entirely up to the listener's interpretation. Magpi1's got the mainstream read though.

Lyric Correction

@jeffmevans I like the wall of sound reference to Brent Mydland. He could minimize and maximize.
