Phil Ochs - How Long Lyrics
How long, how long can we go on
How long, how long can we go on
This troubled land may never last
There is no future in the past
How far, how far have we gone
So many battles without a gain (so many struggles have we lost)
So many young men lost in vain (so many men on the cross)
Why the fear of the coming of the morning?
Why the trembling at the call?
Can't we hear the final warning
Can't we see the writing on the wall?
So many years before the dawn
So many children have never grown
So many cannonballs have flown
(So many dogs have hid their bone)
So many rains have had to fall
So many rains have had to fall
So many storms before the flood
So many rainbows red with blood
Why the fear of the comin' of the morning?
Why the trembling at the call?
Can't we hear the final warning?
Can't we see the writing on the wall?
How long, how long can we go on
How long, how long can we go on
This troubled land may never last
There is no future in the past

Phil Ochs How Long Comments
Phil: "There is no future in the past." Pretty timely in the era of MAGA.
What is the name of the album with the rare recordings?
It didn't take that long actually. A while back (a year ago maybe) I found a torrent full of albums and whatnot, and that's where I got most of the songs. I've also found some bootleg on some sites.
I am a bit dedicated I think.
Lots, here's my Ochs folder: i.im gur.co m/xrqeR.png :D (just remove the spaces, youtube is dumb and won't let me put links in comments)
