DRAFT RESISTER As recorded by Steppenwolf (From the 1969 Album MONSTER) [Intro] [Verse 1] He was talkin’ ’bout the army While he passed his pipe around An American deserter Who found peace on Swedish ground [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] And we thought of those who suffer For the sake of honesty All those who refuse to follow Traitors to humanity [Chorus] Here’s to all the draft resisters Who will fight for sanity When they march them off to prison In this land of liberty [Bridge] Heed the threat and awesome power Of the mighty Pentagon Which is wasting precious millions On the toys of Washington [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] Shame disgrace and all dishonor Wrongly placed upon their heads Will not rob them of the courage Which betrays the innocent [Outro]
