Ochs, Phil - I'm Tired Lyrics






Sometimes 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

Ochs, Phil I'm Tired Comments
  1. D.... F....

    I performed this song at a Phil Ochs tribute in St. Louis a few years back. Some of his best songs are deep cuts like this that never saw the light of day during his lifetime.

    I also played this. I don't live in an english-speaking country. While playing this I cried. I was the only one to cry out of 100.

    Filip Chetwynd It must be beautiful to be able to sing this. It is such a great song, though I can never listen to it without crying.

  2. J.... G....

    Who downvoted this? Emotionless dullards?

  3. M.... R....

    Beautiful song. I'm afraid he really felt this way.

    M.... R....

    Many of us do, especially in a world so cruel.

  4. A.... G....

    Sometimes I look at the views of this song and I;m disheartened that I make up a large percentage of those views.

    A.... G....

    I understand, however not just his braveness but such a manic-depressive, extreme dark side is also an important component of all his beautiful and artistic songs that are too good to be categorized into mere protest songs. (Well of course listening/watching his later years after his vocal chords were taken away by mobs hired by CIA, is just too much heartbreaking..)

    A.... G....

    It's all good man, I probably make up the other half. 😂
