Pearl Jam — Dissident lyrics

Lyrics

She nursed him there
Over a night
I wasn’t so sure
She wanted him to stay
What to say. what to say
But soon she was down
Soon he was low
At a quarter past. a holy no She had to turn around
When she couldn’t hold. she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never. the safest path
Oh. a dissident. a dissident is here
And to this day. she’s glided on Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said. what a waste
When she had contact. with the conflict
There was meaning
But she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn’t hold. she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh. a dissident. a dissident is here
She gave him away
When she couldn’t hold. no. she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh. a dissident. a dissident is here
Couldn’t hold on. she couldn’t hold
She folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place
A dissident is here
