Indeed, what's untypical about this song? I find it corresponding to Phil's lyrical image. Besides, I think it was written before Mr. Ochs visited South America.

One of a small group of fine singer/songwriters of the era. Shame he took it to seriously and was frustrated not being able to affect change thru music.

God, I so agree, and so, SO untypical of Phil Ochs. I can only think this is from the time his mind started to disintegrate in South America, when he started to believe he was a train. It's a strange, disturbing song, but absolutely brilliant, as is everything he's ever done.
