Lyrics for Song: I'm Tired
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Phil Ochs
Sometime's I feel that the world isn't mine
It feeds on my hunger and tears on my time
And I'm tired,
Yes, I'm tired
Every face on the street is as cold the air
As hard as the pavement moves 'neath my feet
And I'm tired,
Yes, I'm tired
Sometimes I stop and ask to myself
Oh why should I be so alone
It comes and it goes
and nobody knows
For they're blind with a pain all their own
So I start out again with a smile on my face
To hide all the empty and search for a friend
And I'm tired
Yes, I'm tired
Sometimes I stop and ask to myself
Oh why should I be so alone
It comes and it goes
and nobody knows
For they're blind with a pain all their own
So I start out again with a smile on my face
To hide all the empty and search for a friend
And I'm tired
Yes, I'm tired
And I'm tired
Yes, I'm tired

I'm Tired - Phil Ochs
Phil Ochs' 1964 recording of 'I'm Tired' stands as a defining anthem of the folk protest movement, capturing the weary spirit of a generation disillusioned by the Vietnam War and social unrest. Delivered with his characteristic raw vocal intensity, the song critiques the futility of military intervention while reflecting on the personal toll of political engagement. Released during a pivotal era for American folk music, the track exemplifies Ochs' ability to blend poetic lyricism with direct political commentary, influencing countless subsequent artists who sought to use their platforms to challenge authority. The song remains a powerful testament to the intersection of personal exhaustion and collective struggle, cementing Ochs' legacy as a voice of conscience in the 1960s. |
