What to say, what to say
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
But soon she was down, soon he was low
Couldn't hold on, she couldn't hold, no, she folded
Always home but so far away
Escape is never the safest path
Escape is never the safest path
A dissident is here

When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded

Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh
Escape is never the safest path
She had to turn around
A dissident is here

Like a word misplaced
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh

She gave him away
A dissident is here
At a quarter past a holy no
She had to turn around

And to this day, she's glided on
Nothing to say, what a waste
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh

A dissident is here
There was meanin', but she sold him to the state

When she couldn't hold, no, she folded
When she had contact with the conflict
When she couldn't hold, she folded
