Pearl Jam Dissident lyrics

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
