Phil Ochs - Josh Joplin Group

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?
