Phil Ochs Power And The Glory(1963 demo with additional verse left off of the records)

[Ken Burch]

Here's the words of that additional verse-and it's a damn good time to be singing it:

But this land is still troubled by men who have to hate;
They twist away our freedom and twist away our fate.
Law is their weapon, and treason is their cry,
You can stop them if you try.

[Goonch]

1. "And the speeches of the President...

...are the ravings of a clown."

4. Thank you, have not heard this version before

"You can stop them if you try." It's as if the ever prescient Phil is trying to get a message through....

[Ken Burch]

5. At the time, Phil chose to leave that verse off the record, and this is just a demo version

That's why it includes a moment where Phil stumbles on the lyrics for a moment.

Still, anybody who plays that song should start including that verse.

6. Agree. I'd heard his sister quote this verse a few years back but

I didn't know until now he'd recorded them.

7. BTW, that's a wonderful posting name you've chosen.

I was just a kid when Donovan wrote that, but I still hum it sometimes.
