Days of Decision (LP版)

Days Of Decision (LP版) - Phil Ochs

Oh the shadows of doubt are in many a mind

Lookin' for an answer they're never gonna find

But they'd better decide

'Cause they're runnin' out of time

For these are the days of decision

Oh the games of stalling you cannot afford

Dark is the danger that's

Knocking on the door

And the far reaching rockets

Say you can't wait anymore

For these are the days of decision

In the face of the people

Who know they're gonna win

There's a strength that's greater

Than the power of the wind

And you can't stand around

When the ice is growing thin

For these are the days of decision

I've seen your heads hinding

'Neath the blankets of fear

When the paths they are plain'

And the choices are clear

But with each passing day boys

The cost is more dear

For these are the days of decision

There's many a cross that burns in the night

And the fingers of the fire are

Pointing as they bite

Oh you can't let the smoke

Keep on blinding all your sight

For these are the days of decision

Now the mobs of anger are roamin' the street

From the rooftops they are

Aimin' at the police on the beat

And in city after city you know they will repeat

For these are the days of decision

There's been warnin's of fire

Warnin's of flood

Now there's the warnin' of the

Bullet and the blood

From the three bodies buried

In the Mississippi mud

Sayin' these are the days of decision

There's a change in the wind and

A split in the road

You can do what's right or you

Can do what you are told

And the prize of the victory

Will belong to the bold

These are the days of decision

Yes these are the days of decision
