  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    An album of songs written by Phil Ochs, including well-known and obscure ones. Phil Ochs was known as a brilliant topical / political songwriter - or less flatteringly, a "protest singer." But he understood that the best protest isn't necessarily a political song, but a great song that stands the test of time, that shows how marvelous and unstoppable our creativity and humanity can be.

lyrics

Sometimes I feel that the world isn't mine
It feeds on my hunger and tears on my
And I'm tired, Yes, I'm tired

Every face on the street is as cold the air
As hard as the pavement moves 'neath my feet
And I'm tired, Yes, I'm tired

Sometimes I stop and ask myself
Oh why should I be so alone
It comes and it goes and nobody knows
For they're blind with a pain all their own

So I start out again with a smile on my face
To hide all the empty and search for a friend
And I'm tired, Yes, I'm tired

Sometimes I stop and ask myself
Oh why should I be so alone
It comes and it goes and nobody knows
For they're blind with a pain all their own

So I start out again with a smile on my face
To hide all the empty and search for a friend
And I'm tired, Yes, I'm tired
And I'm tired, Yes, I'm tired
