X-Mts-Userid: LPMR "Too Many Martyrs" by Phil Ochs In the state of Mississippi many years ago A boy of 14 years got a taste of southern law He saw his friend a hanging and his color was his crime And the blood upon his jacket left a brand upon his mind CHORUS: Too many martyrs and too many dead Too many lies too many empty words were said ( optional) Too many times for too many angry men Oh let it never be again
