Song | Draft Resister - Live 1970 |
Artist | Steppenwolf |
Album | Live Steppenwolf |
作词 : Byrom, Kay, McJohn | |
He was talkin' 'bout the army while he passed his pipe around | |
An American deserter who found peace on | |
Swedish ground | |
He had joined to seek adventure and to prove himself a man | |
But they tried to crush his spirit 'til his conscience ruined their plan | |
And we thought of those who suffer for the sake of honesty | |
All those who refuse to follow traitors to humanity | |
Here's to all the draft resisters who will fight for sanity | |
When they march 'em off to prison in this land of liberty | |
Heed the threat and awesome power of the mighty | |
PentagonWhich is wasting precious millions on the toys of | |
Washington | |
Don't forget the draft resisters and their silent lonely plea | |
When they march 'em off to prison, they will go for you and me | |
Shame, disgrace and all dishonor, wrongly placed upon their heads | |
Will not rob them of the courage which betrays the innocent |
