Steppenwolf - Draft Resister Lyrics
Words and music by John Kay and Goldie McJohnHe was talkin' 'bout the army while he passed his pipe aroundAn American deserter who found peace on Swedish groundHe had joined to seek adventure and to prove himself a manBut they tried to crush his spirit 'til his conscience ruined their plansAnd we thought of those who suffer for the sake of honestyAll those who refuse to follow traitors to humanityHere's to all the draft resisters who will fight for sanityWhen they march them off to prison in this land of libertyHeed the threat and awesome power of the mighty PentagonWhich is wasting precious millions on the toys of WashingtonDon't forget the Draft Resisters and their silent, lonely pleaWhen they march them off to prison, they will go for you and meShame, disgrace and all dishonor, wrongly placed upon their headsWill not rob them of the courage which betrays the innocent Copyright MCA Music (BMI)All rights for the USA controlled and administered byMCA Corporation of America, INC
