Song break

edited January 2007 in A Moving Train
The South will rise again!

Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,
Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.
In the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive.
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well,

(Chorus)
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing,
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin'.
They went
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me,
"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good.
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best.

(Chorus)

Like my father before me, I will work the land,
Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just eighteen, proud and brave,
But a Yankee laid him in his grave,
I swear by the mud below my feet,
You can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat.

(Chorus and fade)
America...the greatest Country in the world.

  • Definitely better than Nelly Furtado or whoever the hell that other song break is about.

    Nelly Furtado sucks.

    Gotta love those civil war ballads...any real American knows them.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
    Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
    And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
    Like friends and brethren, kind were we, and just
    But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
    We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
    Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
    Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
    All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
    Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
    Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen are
    Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    And here's to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State.
    With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate.
    Impelled by her example, now other States prepare
    To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star.

    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
    Like patriots of old we'll fight, our heritage to save.
    And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer
    So cheer for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star.

    Hurrah!
    Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

    Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
    For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
    And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given
    The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven!
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    I could care less about her music. As long as she keeps shaken that ass in her videos I'm happy.

    It's Ani DiFranco (the thread I saw, anyway). HUGE difference.
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

    "What we've got here is failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach...
    So, you get what we had here last week,
    which is the way he wants it!
    Well, he gets it!
    N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

    Look at your young men fighting
    Look at your women crying
    Look at your young men dying
    The way they've always done before

    Look at the hate we're breeding
    Look at the fear we're feeding
    Look at the lives we're leading
    The way we've always done before

    My hands are tied
    The billions shift from side to side
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
    For the love of God and our human rights
    And all these things are swept aside
    By bloody hands time can't deny
    And are washed away by your genocide
    And history hides the lies of our civil wars

    D'you wear a black armband
    When they shot the man
    Who said "Peace could last forever"
    And in my first memories
    They shot Kennedy
    I went numb when I learned to see
    So I never fell for Vietnam
    We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
    That you can't trust freedom
    When it's not in your hands
    When everybody's fightin'
    For their promised land

    And
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war

    Look at the shoes your filling
    Look at the blood we're spilling
    Look at the world we're killing
    The way we've always done before
    Look in the doubt we've wallowed
    Look at the leaders we've followed
    Look at the lies we've swallowed
    And I don't want to hear no more

    My hands are tied
    For all I've seen has changed my mind
    But still the wars go on as the years go by
    With no love of God or human rights
    'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
    By bloody hands of the hypnotized
    Who carry the cross of homicide
    And history bears the scars of our civil wars

    "We practice selective annihilation of mayors
    And government officials
    For example to create a vacuum
    Then we fill that vacuum
    As popular war advances
    Peace is closer" **

    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    And I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need one more war

    I don't need one more war
    Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
    make sure the fortune that you seek...is the fortune that you need

    I don't want no foreign pricks to take my job away from me
    My tax dollars paid their ransom, would they do the same for me?
    I don't, I don't want them in my home
    I don't, I don't want them finding me alone
    They're commies, sub-human subversives
    They're commies, human living curses
    They got nowhere to go so let them drown
    I don't want them around so let them drown
    Let's bomb the boats and feed the fish
    Gulls peck flesh from rancid stiffs decaying on the deep blue sea
    Bits and pieces here and there, bomb them far from my country
    Do you, do you want them in your home
    Do you, do you want them finding you alone?
    They're commies, sub-human subversives
    They are commies, human living curses
    They got nowhere to go so let them blow
    They got nowhere to go so let them blow
    I don't want them around so let them drown
    Let's bomb the boats and feed the fish. Bomb the boats and feed the
    fish.
    Bomb the boats and feed the fish. Bomb the boats and feed their fucking
    flesh to the fish.
    You've changed your place in this world!
