Rate Days Of Decision
Artist : Phil ochs Song : Days of decision Pre>
C
Oh, the shadows of doubt are in many a mind,
Am dm g
Lookin’ for an answer they’re never gonna find,
Em dm g
But they’d better decide ’cause they’re runnin’
out of time,
Dm g
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
od 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,
Yes, these are the days of decision.
