Become You

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
