Phil Ochs – That’s What I Want To Hear Lyrics

Artist: Phil Ochs
Song: That’s What I Want To Hear

Oh you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
And you say that your pockets are bare
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
And nobody seems to care

Now don’t tell me your troubles
No, I don’t have the time to spare
But if you want to get together and fight
Good buddy that’s what I wanna hear

And you tell me that your job was taken away
By a big old greasy machine
And you tell me that you don’t collect no more pay
And your belly is growing lean

Now if I had the jobs to give
You know I’d give them all away
But don’t waste your breath calling out my name
If you don’t havе nothing to say

And you tell me that you don’t have nothing to do
And you keep on wasting your timе
And you say when you want to get your family some food
You gotta stand in a relief line

Now it’s a sin and a bloody shame
About the way they’re pushing you ’round
But when you decide not to take no more
You know I’ll put my money down

Cause I’ve seen your kind many times before
And I’ll see ’em many times again
Oh, but every bad thing that’s happened to you
Has happened to better men

So don’t explain that you’ve lost your way
That you’ve got no place to go
You’ve got a hand and a voice and you’re not alone
Brother that’s all you need to know

And if you’re still wondering what I’m trying to say
Let me tell you what it’s all about
Now nobody listens to a single man
When he’s walkin’ ’round down and out

So if you’re looking for an answer
He’s standing there by your side
And you’ll never really know how far you’ll go
‘Til you join together and try

So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
And you say that your pockets are bare
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
And nobody seems to care

Now don’t tell me your troubles
No, I don’t have the time to spare
But if you want to get together and fight
Good buddy that’s what I wanna hear
