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 Damn 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 bloody 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.
