Dissident - Pearl Jam

She nursed him there
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, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
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
A dissident, a dissident is here

She gave him away
When she couldn't hold, no, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
A dissident, a dissident is here
Couldn't hold on, she couldn't hold
She folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
A dissident is here
