Dissident Songtext
von Pearl Jam

She nursed him there
Ooh, 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
No, she folded, a dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissidence, 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 dissidence, a dissident is here, oh

She gave him away when she couldn't hold
No, she folded, a dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissidence, a dissident is here


Oh, couldn′t hold on, she couldn′t hold
No, she folded, a dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place
Oh, a dissident is here
