Phil Ochs – The War Is Over Lyrics

13 years ago

The entire song really can be heard in terms of one of the last lines: 'You only are what you believe' Maybe part of the frustration for people like Ochs is that too many Americans believe themselves powerless next to their leaders. When we realize that we can declare the war over without the permission of a few hundred rich guys then we will discover the power we have. That is the freedom that WILL make us free.

Phil Ochs – Love Me, I'm A Liberal Lyrics	13 years ago
This song rails against all liberals, not only those who end up as turncoats. In fact, the point is that all liberals are ultimately traitors to the cause they claim as their own.

Phil Ochs – No More Songs Lyrics	13 years ago
Very sad song that must be autobiographic. I read his disillusion with politics in the fourth verse. Chicago 1968 had a terrible effect on him.

Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics	13 years ago
And the lines: "And like a baby boy I never was a man, until I saw your blue eyes cry...And then she whispered 'how could you do this to me.'" are devastating.

Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics

13 years ago

As someone who put my parents through plenty of worry and sleepless nights and who now has kids of his own, I can't watch the video without losing my breath. I am so glad my mother is not in her grave with an answer machine on top of her and that she can see that I have turned out okay. It's never too late to sort yourself out. Asking parents to hate you wont work, they wont stop loving you and you will have to answer to yourself for all of the pain you put them through. This is the message I get from the song. The part of the video that gets me the most is when he walks down the stairs after watching his mother care for him as a baby and small child and sees his mother lifting his head up as he is passed out on drink and or drugs. Love really does hurt.
