INDIGO GIRLS

INDIGO GIRLS - Become You lyrics

rate me

i heard you sing a rebel song

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

damn that old confederacy

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

i'm sorry for what you've learned

(learned)

when you feel the tables turned

to run so hard in your race

(race)

now you found who set the pace

the landed aristocracy

exploiting all your enmity

all your daddy's fought in vain

leave you with the mark of cain

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

the center holds so they say

(it never held too well for me)

it never held too well for me

(the center holds so they say)

i won't stop short of common ground

(that vilifies the trodden down)

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 bloody hand

of the execution man

(ah)

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
