indigo girls - become you (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
i heard you sing a rebel song
you sung it loud and all alone
we can’t afford the things you say
we can’t afford the warranty
well, i see you walking in the glare
down the county road we share
our southern blood my heresy
d+mn that old confederacy

[chorus]
it took a
long time to
become the thing
i am to you
and you won’t
tear it apart
without a fight
without a heart
[verse 2]
well, i’m sorry for what you’ve learned
when you feel the tables turned
to run so hard in your race
and now you found who set the pace
it’s the landed aristocracy
exploiting all your enmity
all your daddies fought in vain
leavе you with the mark of cain

[chorus]
it took a
long time to
becomе the thing
i am to you
and you won’t
tear it apart
without a fight
without a heart
it took a
long time to
become you
become you

[verse 3]
the center holds so they say
it never held too well for me
i won’t stop short of common ground
that vilifies the trodden down (i won’t stop)
the center held the bonded slave
for the sake of industry (ah)
the center held the bl++dy hand
of the execution man (ah)
[chorus]
it took a
long time to
become the thing
i am to you
and you won’t
tear it apart
without a fight
without a heart
it took a
long time to
become you
become you
it took a
long time to
become you
become you

[outro]
thanks y’all. thank you.
