Here comes phil ochs shovel on his shoulderTrailing a hoe along the ho chi minh trailBut the trail is on bleeker streetAnd phil's on his uppersIt's the mid-nineteen seventiesAnd it ain't looking so goodFor this man with a missionAnd a man with a passionWhen you run out of fashionAnd it don't come crawling backHere comes phil ochs,Got a chip on his shoulderAnd they can't cut his jacket to cover it upWhen one war is over but ten are beginningAnd the movement's gone missingBecause they all just moved awayOh they moved into property,They moved off into futuresYeah, they moved into ads, and that's as sad as it can getChorus:Run, run, run from phil,Phil's on a three day drunkHe's up on his high horseStaggering and saucedRun, run, run from phil,Phil's on a three day drunkBut he wasn't aloneWhen he stumbled off courseHere comes phil ochs, devil on his shoulderCarrying his guitar and the weight of the worldBut if there's space for the millionaire,God there must be space for the troubadourAnd while there's a space, there's always a chance out thereThat a melody lingers, and we keep getting singersWho've got more on their minds than the latest dow jones share...Chorus
