All Along the Watchtower

Lyrics

There must be some way out of here
 Said the joker to the thief
 There's too much confusion
 I can't get no relief
 Businessmen, they drink my wine
 Plowmen dig my earth
 None of them along the line
 Know what any of it is worth
 ♪
 "No reason to get excited"
 The thief, he kindly spoke
 "There are many here among us
 Who feel that life is but a joke"
 "But you and I, we've been through that
 And this is not our fate
 So, let us not talk falsely now
 The hour is getting late"
 ♪
 All along the watchtower
 Princes kept the view
 While all the women came and went
 Barefoot servants, too
 Outside, in the distance
 A wildcat did growl
 Two riders were approaching
 The wind began to howl
 
 There must be some way out of here
 Said the joker to the thief
 There's too much confusion
 I can't get no relief
 Businessmen, they drink my wine
 Plowmen dig my earth
 None of them along the line
 Know what any of it is worth
