Steppenwolf - Draft Resister lyrics

Words and music by John Kay and Goldie McJohn He was talkin' 'bout the army while he pa**ed 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 plans 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 them off to prison in this land of liberty Heed the threat and awesome power of the mighty Pentagon Which is wasting precious millions on the toys of Washington Don't forget the Draft Resisters and their silent, lonely plea When they march them 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 © Copyright MCA Music (BMI) All rights for the USA controlled and administered by MCA Corporation of America, INC
