Dissident Song Lyrics

he took his flag to the middle of the square
to remember all the people that were lying there
they said he must be crazy, they couldn"t understand
he knows he"s doomed to failure
why does he raise his hand?
so they locked him up
just to save him from himself
why can"t he be the same as everybody else?
the doctors raised their eyebrows, said it was hard to tell
but it stands to reason
he"s politically unwell
a worldwide team of experts, just could not agree
whether it was bullshit
or real psychology
so they locked him up
just to save him from himself
why can"t he be the same as everybody else?
save my life when the cold winds blow
save my life from the poison snow
save my life from the burning fire
standing there together
waiting for the answer to come
as the night was falling
holding back the darkness with a song
we"re waiting for a change
we"re waiting for a change
well i"ve been put upon, i"ve been set-upon
but I"ll be back up on my feet again
i"ve been pushed around, been turned upside down
but you"ll see me around on the street again
on the street again
