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, oh...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, oh...oh...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 dissident, 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
