lirik lagu phil ochs – half a century high (live)
[verse 1]
in the tube where i was born
i could have sworn
there was so much to see
there was so little to be
but i was free
world at my command
through the dots i ran
looking for a man
that looked like me
[chorus]
and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
[verse 2]
in the tube where i was raised
i was amazed
on the pictures i would lean
that went flashing on the screen
oh, i was dazed
but then my eyes were made
hypnotized insane
buried in my brain
in a blinding blaze
[chorus]
and now it can bе told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wisе
[verse 3]
in the tube where i was grown
i was alone
laying on the floor
i locked the closet door
the sound was low
ballgames on the street
disappeared behind my feet
out of breath my heart would beat
to see another show
[chorus]
and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
[verse 4]
in the tube where i was made
i was afraid
spinning through the sp~ce
another scene, another face
another shade
mirror of my mind
on electric wheels of wine
living in the lines
that were displayed
[chorus]
and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
[verse 5]
in the tube where i was fed
i lost my head
i’d watch the lives they led
watch them to the end
and then again
an open kind of laugh
i gave all the mind i had
and whenever i was sad
i had my friends
[chorus]
yes, and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
[verse 6]
in the tube where i was k!lled
i was fulfilled
such an easy way to win
talking to my twin
no sign of sin
the sacrifice was small
fascination was the fall
i was extended by the wall
that held me in
[chorus]
oh, and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
[verse 7]
in the tube where i was born
i could have sworn
there was so much to see
there was so little to be
but i was free
world at my command
through the dots i ran
looking for a man
that looked like me
[chorus]
and now it can be told
i’m a quarter of a century old
but i’m a half a century wise
