Phil Ochs Lyrics

I've seen the death of rock and roll.
and i am living proof
that no one here can dig a hole
and not find the truth
Phil you are not gone (3x)
And though the posterchild tries
he won't survive the scorn
he is killed with compromise
in the tube where he was born
Phil you are not gone (3x)
50 fans can't be wrong (3x)
or can they, can they... can they, can they?
our surveys say, this is what they want today.
our surveys say all they want is sugar ray
Phil you can't be killed (3x)
50 fans can't be wrong (3x)
or can they, can they... can they, can they?
we are what we've always been
ready, here we go
wait for the signal to begin
and you're on the radio
Phil you are not gone.(3x)
50 fans can't be wrong. (3x)
or can they? (spoken)
I've seen the death of rock and roll.
and i am living proof
that no one here can dig a hole
and not find the truth
Phil you are not gone (3x)
And though the posterchild tries
he won't survive the scorn
he is killed with compromise
in the tube where he was born
Phil you are not gone (3x)
50 fans can't be wrong (3x)
or can they, can they... can they, can they?
our surveys say, this is what they want today.
our surveys say all they want is sugar ray
Phil you can't be killed (3x)
50 fans can't be wrong (3x)
or can they, can they... can they, can they?
we are what we've always been
ready, here we go
wait for the signal to begin
and you're on the radio
Phil you are not gone.(3x)
50 fans can't be wrong. (3x)
or can they? (spoken)

Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").
