Draft Resister |
| 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 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 '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 |
