Dissidents |
| One more young writer slid away in the night |
| Over the border he will drown in light |
| Hold it, wait a minute |
| I can’t read my writing, my own writing |
| Like tiny insects in the palm of history |
| A domino effect in a cloud of mystery |
| My writing is an iron fist |
| In a glove full of Vaseline |
| But dip the fuse in the kerosene |
| I too become a dissident |
| Courting disaster we ran in the night |
| Wings of an angel were torn in flight |
| Check it, verify it |
| It’s all here in writing, down in writing |
| At the hands of the press |
| And in the eyes of the government |
| I fell from grace |
| I too became a dissident |
| Like tiny insects in the palm of history |
| A domino effect and an early end to this story |
| My writing is an iron fist |
| In a glove full of Vaseline |
| But dip the fuse in the kerosene |
| I too become a dissident |
