Without a fight, without a heart
It took a long time to become the thing
The center held the bonded slave
Of the execution man
Sung it loud and all alone
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
It took a long time to become you, become you
Now you found who set the pace
I'm sorry for what you've learned
Damn that old confederacy
Leave you with the mark of cairn
It never held too well for me
We can't afford the warranty
Down the county road, we share
To run so hard in your race
That vilifies the trodden down
Our southern blood my heresy
I won't stop
I won't stop short of common ground
The center held the bloody hand
It took a long time to become you, become you
It took a long time to become the thing
It took a long time to become the thing
All your daddy's fought in vain
Well, I see you walking in the glare
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
The landed aristocracy
I heard you sing, a rebel song
Without a fight, without a heart
Songwriter: Amy Elizabeth Ray
Without a fight, without a heart
We can't afford the things, you say
The center holds so they say
It took a long time to become you, become you
For the sake of industry
When you feel the tables turned
I am to you and you won't tear it apart
Exploiting all your enmity
