how long [demo-version] - phil ochs lyrics
[intro]
here’s a song that could be fantastic with harmonies put into it
the basic, uh, idea’s in— is in e minor to c to d progression
in the beginning of it
it’s a song called “how long”
[verse 1]
how long, how long can we go on?
how long, how long can we go on?
this troubled land may never last
the times of war are in the past
[verse 2]
how far, how far have we gone?
how far, how far have we gone?
so many battles without a gain
so many young men lost in vain
[chorus]
why the fear of the coming of the morning?
why the trembling at the call?
can’t we hear the final warning?
can’t we see the writing on the wall?
[verse 3]
so many years before the dawn
so many years before the dawn
so many children have never grown
so many cannonb*lls have flown
[verse 4]
so many rains had to fall
so many rains have had to fall
so many storms before the flood
so many rainbows red with blood
[chorus]
why the fear of the comin’ of the morning?
why the trembling at the call?
can’t we hear the final warning?
can’t we see the writing on the wall?
[verse 5]
how long, how long can we go on?
how long, how long can we go on?
this troubled land may never last
the times of war are in the past
