I Ain’t Marchin’ Anymore (Live in Vancouver) Phil Ochs

[Intro]
I'll do you, for you now, you nice people here, a protest song
A protest song is uh, is defined as something
A song you don't hear on the radio
And they'll say you don't hear it on the radio
'Cause the guy can't sing or 'cause the words are no good, or—
As they play the shit that they play these days
But uh, but it's all got to do with the process
All, all around, all around the western trail
And that includes England, and France, and, and Canada, and America
They have, they have the media syndrome
Where they control everybody's mind
By the use of fairly mindless and mind-distorting
Distortions of the facts
Which led all of us into the Vietnamese war
And led all of us into uh, the Kennedy assassinations
So what can you do?
I mean, here you are, a helpless soul, a helpless piece of flesh
Amid, amid all this cruel, cruel machinery and
And terrible, heartless men
So you, all you can do is turn away from the filth
And hopefully start to build something new someday
And it affects all of us
It affects the people here too
So here's a turning away song
