Dissident (G.A. 1994) [Live] Songtext
von Pearl Jam

She nursed him there over a night
I wasn′t so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say? What to say?
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past, a holy no
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here


And to this day, she′s glided on
Always home but so far away, like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
But when she had contact with the conflict
There was meaning but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, oh, oh...

She gave him away when she couldn't hold
No, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, couldn′t hold on
She couldn′t hold, mo, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place
Oh, a dissident is here
