Become You Lyrics - Become You - Indigo Girls

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
