The Dissident

Lyrics

[Intro: Todd Kerns] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night I'm singing, oh I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive I'm singing oh [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night I'm singing, oh I guess I've never stopped believing that love's still alive I'm singing oh [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night I'm singing, oh I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive Singing oh And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night I'm singing, oh I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive I'm singing oh [Outro] I'm not afraid to die, I stand for my own Oh But I can't deny that we are so wrong Oh
