Dissidents

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One more young writer slid away in the night Over the border he will drown in light [Pre-Chorus] (And the man said) Hold it (hold it) (He said) Wait a minute (wait a minute) I can't read my writing [Chorus] My own writing Like tiny insects (my writing) In the palm of history (my writing) A domino effect (my writing) In a cloud of mystery (my own writing) Is an iron fist (my writing) In a glove full of Vaseline (my writing) Dip the fuse in the kerosene (my own writing) I too became a dissident Became a dissident Became a dissident [Speech in Russian] When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible When he dies, he is hard and insensitive [Verse 2] Courting disaster we ran in the night Wings of an angel were torn in flight [Pre-Chorus] (When the man said) Check it (hold it) (He said) Verify it (wait a minute) It's all here in writing [Chorus] My own writing Like tiny insects (my writing) In the palm of history (my writing) A domino effect And an early end to the story (my writing) Is an iron fist (my writing) In a glove full of Vaseline (my writing) Dip the fuse in the kerosene (my own writing) I too became a dissident Became a dissident Became a dissident [Miscellaneous voice samples] [Pre-Chorus] Check it Said, verify it It's all here in writing [Chorus] Down in writing At the hands of the press (my writing) And in the eyes of the government (my writing) I fell from grace (my writing) I too became a dissident I was a dissident, yeah Like tiny insects (my writing) In the palm of history (my writing) A domino effect And an early end to the story (my writing) Is an iron fist In a glove full of Vaseline Dip the fuse in the kerosene I too became a dissident Became a dissident A dissi-, a dissi-, a dissi-
