Phil Ochs - The Parade's Still Passing By Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I got the news today
  • That you refused to play
  • Cause you never made number one
  • But its not just the words
  • Its the deeds that are heard
  • When all is said and done
  • Kings take their crowns
  • They melt them all down
  • Trying to get the gold out
  • You went to hell and
  • Even when you werent selling
  • You never ever sold out.
  • You werent no leader,
  • You were more like a bleeder
  • Who was trying to cry for us all
  • You werent no sage
  • But your sense of outrage
  • Sounded like a trumpet call
  • Fifteen years ago
  • In the old folky show
  • You were just one voice in the crowd
  • But now with so few singing
  • Your voice would have been ringing
  • Out bout twice as loud.
  • There but for fortune
  • Say a small circle of friends
  • Some may see the changes
  • So few see the ends
  • The pleasures of the harbor
  • Have come to you at last
  • You may not be marching anymore
  • But the parades still going past.
  • Im not taking the blame
  • That we killed you
  • You know you did that to yourself
  • But it was kind of a shame
  • That you played that game
  • You were better than anyone else
  • One shot of your bottle
  • Got you full throttle
  • It was the friend that was always there
  • But your greatest gift
  • And the curse you lived with
  • Was that you could always care.
