Words and music by Utah Phillips, paraphrased as well as I can remember them, since I've googled 3 pages and haven't found the song. Comes from an album with Ani DiFranco, and it's called "The saw playing musician"...

Utah: "Tom, Tom, I'm over here at the Unitarian Church, and I'm in a debate about the draft. How do you feel about draft evaders?"

Tom: "Most of the men I worked with in the logging camps were Scandahoovians; Swedes, Danes, Finns, who came to America to avoid conscription in another one of Europe's bloody wars. Hell, the wealth of America was built on the backs of draft dodgers. It's a fine American institution, and it deserves to be honored."
