Draft Resister Lyrics - Monster - Steppenwolf

He was talkin' 'bout the army while he passed his pipe around 

An American deserter who found peace on Swedish ground 

He had joined to seek adventure and to prove himself a man 

But they tried to crush his spirit 'til his conscience ruined their plan 

And we thought of those who suffer for the sake of honesty 

All those who refuse to follow traitors to humanity 

Here's to all the draft resisters who will fight for sanity 

When they march 'em off to prison in this land of liberty 

Heed the threat and awesome power of the mighty Pentagon 

Which is wasting precious millions on the toys of Washington 

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 

Shame, disgrace and all dishonor, wrongly placed upon their heads 

Will not rob them of the courage which betrays the innocent
