I hate a hypocrite! After The Dixie Chicks made that anti-Bush comment (2003), the industry shunned them, fans burned their cd's and even went as far as sending death threats...
Ah, but fast forward 4 years to the Grammy Awards...The Chicks won all 5 awards for which they were nominated - including album (Taking the Long Way) and song of the year (Not Ready To Make Nice). On the top 20 chart, they went from number 72 to number 8. Two weeks ago, their then-moribund album moved 6,000 copies; after the five-award sweep, it sold 103,000!
It just goes to show that you should never be afraid to speak your mind, cause chances are, people will agree with you...they're just too chicken shit to say it themselves!
Way to make a come-back!
Not Ready To Make Nice
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,But I'm still waiting
I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have timeTo go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it
I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting
