Rehearsals For Retirement (Album Version) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

The days grow longer for smaller prizes[00:00:12]

I feel a stranger to all surprises[00:00:20]

You can have them I don't want them[00:00:30]

I wear a different kind of garment[00:00:37]

In my rehearsals for retirement[00:00:44]

The lights are cold again they dance below me[00:00:51]

I turn to old friends they do not know me[00:00:59]

All but the beggar he remembers[00:01:09]

I put a penny down for payment[00:01:15]

In my rehearsals for retirement[00:01:22]

Had I known the end would end in laughter[00:01:29]

I tell my daughter it doesn't matter[00:01:36]

The stage is tainted with empty voices[00:01:44]

The ladies painted they have no choices[00:01:52]

I take my colors from the stable[00:02:01]

They lie in tatters by the tournament[00:02:08]

In my rehearsals for retirement[00:02:15]

Where are the armies who killed a country[00:02:22]

And turned a strong man into a baby[00:02:29]

No comes the rabble they are welcome[00:02:40]

I wait in anger and amusement[00:02:47]

In my rehearsals for retirement[00:02:54]

Had I known the end would end in laughter[00:03:01]

Still I tell my daughter that it doesn't matter[00:03:08]

Farewell my own true love farewell my fancy[00:03:17]

Are you still owing me love though you failed me[00:03:25]

But one last gesture for her pleasure[00:03:34]

I'll paint your memory on the monument[00:03:41]

In my rehearsals for retirement[00:03:49]
