phil ochs – lou marsh [demo-version] كلمات اغاني
[intro]
was k!lled about two months ago
when he tried to break up a gang fight in spanish harlem
of new york
it’s the first time this has happened in some fifteen years of the youth board working there
[verse 1]
on the streets of new york city when the hour was gettin’ late
there were young men armed with knives and guns, young men armed with hate
and lou marsh stepped between them and died there in his tracks
for one man is no army when a city turns its back
[chorus]
and now the streets are empty, now the streets are dark
so keep an eye on shadows and never pass the park
for the city is a jungle when the law is out of sight
and death lurks in el barrio with the orphans of the night
[verse 2]
there were two gangs approaching in spanish harlem town
the smell of blood was in the air, the challenge was laid down
he felt their blinding hatred and he tried to save their lives
but they broke his peaceful body with their fists and feet and knives
[chorus]
and now the streets are empty, now the streets are dark
so keep an eye on shadows and never pass the park
for the city is a jungle when the law is out of sight
and death lurks in el barrio with the orphans of the night
[verse 3]
now lou marsh lies forgotten in his cold and silent grave
but his memory still lingers on in those he tried to save
and all of those who knew him now and then recall
and shed a tear on poverty, the tombstone of us all
[chorus]
for now the streets are empty, now the streets are dark
so keep an eye on shadows and never pass the park
for the city is a jungle when the law is out of sight
and death lurks in el barrio with the orphans of the night
