The Dissident - Slash

Conscientious objector

Hey mama go and grab the tractor

Daddy says I gotta till these fields tonight

Conscientious objector

Hey where the fuck’s my tractor?

I said mama, I done lost that tractor again

And it’s not that I’m afraid to die

I stand up for my own

There is something that I can’t deny

Deep within my soul

Don’t believe at all

In what we’re fighting for

And I can see that we were wrong

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead

Of the night

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I guess I’ve never stopped believing that love

Can survive

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Father said

It’s time to be a man

To serve for what you’ve known

But my father does not understand

My conscience won’t let go

Don’t believe at all

In what we’re dying for

Now I can see that we were wrong

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I guess I’ve never stopped believing that love' still alive

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Wanna turn away

Wanna turn and walk away

And just leave it all

Cause it’s not my place

No it’s not our place to stay

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I guess I’ve never stopped believing that love can survive

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I guess I’ve never stopped believing that love can survive

I’m singing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I’m not afraid to die

I stand for my own

Oh

But I can’t deny

That we are so wrong

Oh
