lyrics

LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM
PHIL OCHS AS REAL AS YOU
AND AS REAL AS I’D LIKE TO BE
WALKING RIGHT OUT OF HIS GRAVE
SAYING HEY HEY GOT ONE MORE SONG
THAT I WANT TO SING
SORRY ABOUT THE LAST APOCALYPSE
I SAY WE WAKE UP ALL THE DEAD
GIVE THEM OUR PARDON KISS

HEY PHIL OCHS
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
DID EVERYTHING I COULD
BUT WE STILL FIGHTING THE SAME OLD WARS
BUT I PROMISE WHERE I STAND
WITH THIS GUITAR WEIGHING LIKE A THOUSAND POUNDS
BURNING UP MY HANDS
I’LL KEEP SINGING MY LOVE SONGS
TO THIS FIELD OF CRIMSON GHOSTS
LOOKING UP TO THE SKY FOR ANSWERS
HA! JUST BLOOD POLLUTION AND SMOKE
HEY PHIL OCHS WE BOTH DO KNOW
THE NIGHT SKY IS THE ONLY FEELING’
OF FREEDOM PROPER

HEY PHIL OCHS
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I REMEMBER VICTOR JARA
IN THE SANTIAGO STADIUM
I’LL HOLD UP THAT VENDETTA FOR OUR
BLESSED IGNOBLE DEAD
FROM AVI UP TO TRISTAN TZARA
J DILLA FREDDY GREY BRING IT BACK TO THE FATHER
MARIO SANTIAGO
MAY THE TRIBE OF PARRA
NEVER LAY DOWN ARMS TILL WE’RE IN GRAVE
BONES AND SWEAT WITH VIOLETA

HEY PHIL OCHS
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
REAL SORRY ABOUT THE SONGS SERIOUS TONE
SO I GUESS YOU END IT ALL WITH A COUPLE OF JOKES
LIKE:
WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT
THATS WHY WE SEND OUR WEAPONS TO EL SALVADOR
HEY PHIL OCHS WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT
THATS WHY BARACK OBAMA GOT DRONE STRIKES FOR
HEY PHIL OCHS WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT
THATS WHAT WE GOT OUR HANDS HERE FOR
HEY PHIL OCHS
ON A SERIOUS NOTE
WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT
THATS WHAT WE GOT OUR VOICES FOR
