Myles Kennedy
The Dissident
[Intro: Todd Kerns]
Conscientious objector
Hey mama go and grab the tractor
Daddy says I gotta till these fields tonight
Conscientious objector
Hey, where the fuck's my tractor?
I said mama, I done lost that tractor again

[Verse 1]
And it's not that I'm afraid to die
I stand up for my own
There is something that I can't deny
Deep within my soul
Don't believe at all
In what we're fighting for
And I can see that we were wrong

[Chorus]
And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night
I'm singing, oh
I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive
I'm singing oh

[Verse 2]
Father said, "It's time to be a man
To serve for what you've known."
But my father does not understand
My conscience won't let go
Don't believe at all
In what we're dying for
Now I can see that we were wrong
[Chorus]
And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night
I'm singing, oh
I guess I've never stopped believing that love's still alive
I'm singing oh

[Bridge]
Wanna turn away
Wanna turn and walk away
And just leave it all
'Cause it's not my place
No, it's not our place to stay

[Chorus]
And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night
I'm singing, oh
I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive
Singing oh

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night
I'm singing, oh
I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive
I'm singing oh

[Outro]
I'm not afraid to die, I stand for my own
Oh
But I can't deny that we are so wrong
Oh
