[Intro: Todd Kerns]

Conscientious objector

Hey mama go and grab the tractor

Daddy says I gotta till these fields tonight

Conscientious objector

Hey, where the fuck's my tractor?

I said mama, I done lost that tractor again

[Verse 1]

And it's not that I'm afraid to die

I stand up for my own

There is something that I can't deny

Deep within my soul

Don't believe at all

In what we're fighting for

And I can see that we were wrong

[Chorus]

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I'm singing, oh

I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive

I'm singing oh

[Verse 2]

Father said, "It's time to be a man

To serve for what you've known."

But my father does not understand

My conscience won't let go

Don't believe at all

In what we're dying for

Now I can see that we were wrong

[Chorus]

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I'm singing, oh

I guess I've never stopped believing that love's still alive

I'm singing oh

[Bridge]

Wanna turn away

Wanna turn and walk away

And just leave it all

'Cause it's not my place

No, it's not our place to stay

[Chorus]

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I'm singing, oh

I guess I've never stopped believing that love can survive

Singing oh

And though the bombs keep falling in the dead of the night

I'm singing, oh

I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive

I'm singing oh

[Outro]

I'm not afraid to die, I stand for my own

Oh

But I can't deny that we are so wrong

Oh
