I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night Lyrics - Phil Ochs

I dreamed I saw phil ochs last night 

Alive as you or me 

Says I to phil "you're ten years dead" 

"i never died' says he 

"i never died" says he 

The music business killed you phil 

They ignored the things you said 

And cast you out when fashions changed 

Says phil "but I ain't dead" 

Says phil "but I ain't dead" 

The fbi harassed you phil 

They smeared you with their lies 

Says he "but they could never kill 

What they could not compromise 

I never compromised" 

"though fashion's changed and critics sneered 

The songs that I have sung 

Are just as true tonight as then 

The struggle carries on 

The struggle carries on"
