The Dissident Songtext
von Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators

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
Just leave it all

'Cause it′s not our 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
I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive
I′m singing
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 still alive
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
