And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare

As the dust will dry you thirsty
While your muscles beg for mercy, bracero
In the shade of your sombrero
Drop your sweat upon the soil
Like the fruit, your youth will spoil, bracero."
Phil Ochs

"No straight lines make up my life, all my roads have bends
No clearcut beginnings, so far no dead ends."

One last cup of wine I will pour
I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on the rolling rive shore, of changes."
Phil Ochs

"Look out kid, it's something you did
God knows when but you're doin' it again."
Dylan
