american aquarium - a better south lyrics
i was born in the shade of a long leaf pine
the proud southern son of caroline
proud of who i am
and where i’m from
where i ain’t so proud of how far we’ve come
on the backs of the poor these towns were build
for every ounce of pride comes a pound of guilt
there’s a shadow here looms long and black
it’s always one step forward and two steps back
the only dream that ain’t worth havin
is the one
you won’t chase down
they sing your song boy and shut your mouth
but i believe in a better sound
yes i believe in a better sound
down here were still fighting for all the wrong reasons
old man still defends their monuments to treason
to the right side of history were always late
still arguing the difference between harriet age and hate
the only dream that ain’t worth havin
is the one
you won’t chase down
they sing your song boy and shut your mouth
but i believe in a better sound
yes i believe in a better sound
i’m sick and tire of listen to daddy’s generation
the byproduct of war and segregation
still thinkin they can tell us what to do
who can live where and who can love who
the only dream that ain’t worth havin
is the one
you won’t chase down
they sing your song boy and shut your mouth
but i believe in a better sound
yes i believe in a better sound
they say sing your song boy and shut your mouth
yes i believe in a better sought
yes i believe in a better south
