My Life (Album Version) - Phil Ochs.lrc

LRC Lyrics download
[00:08.00]My life was once a joy to me
[00:17.22]Never knowing, I was growing, every day
[00:25.25]My life was once a toy to me
[00:34.43]And I wound it and I found it ran away
[00:44.44]So, I raced through the night
[00:46.91]With a face at my feet, like a god I would write
[00:51.42]All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white
[00:55.86]It was easy to survive, my life was so alive
[01:04.51]
[01:04.52]My life was once a flag to me
[01:13.63]And I waved it and behaved like I was told
[01:22.12]My life was once a drag to me
[01:31.03]And I loudly and I proudly lost control
[01:40.40]I was drawn by a dream, I was loved by a lie
[01:45.45]Every serf on the scene begged me to buy
[01:48.04]But I slipped through the scheme
[01:52.12]So lucky to fail, my life was not for sale
[02:01.00]
[02:01.01]My life is now a myth to me
[02:10.21]Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn
[02:18.31]My life is now a death to me
[02:27.27]So I'll mold it and I'll hold it till I'm born
[02:37.17]So I turned to the land where I'm so out of place
[02:44.24]Throw a curse on the plan in return for the grace
[02:46.26]To know where I stand
[02:48.48]Take everything I own
[02:52.72]Take your tap from my phone
[02:56.05]And leave my life alone
[03:01.50]My life alone

My life was once a joy to me
Never knowing, I was growing, every day
My life was once a toy to me
And I wound it and I found it ran away
So, I raced through the night
With a face at my feet, like a god I would write
All the melodies were sweet, and the women were white
It was easy to survive, my life was so alive
My life was once a flag to me
And I waved it and behaved like I was told
My life was once a drag to me
And I loudly and I proudly lost control
I was drawn by a dream, I was loved by a lie
Every serf on the scene begged me to buy
But I slipped through the scheme
So lucky to fail, my life was not for sale
My life is now a myth to me
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn
My life is now a death to me
So I'll mold it and I'll hold it till I'm born
So I turned to the land where I'm so out of place
Throw a curse on the plan in return for the grace
To know where I stand
Take everything I own
Take your tap from my phone
And leave my life alone
My life alone
