Draft Resister - 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 plans

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 them 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
