Not Ready To Make Nice -- Dixie Chicks

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 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 know you said  Can’t you just get over it  It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it  I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’  It’s a sad sad story when 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  Sayin’ 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

Forgive, sounds good  Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything  But I’m still waiting               (sing365) 

When Natalie Maines remarked at a concert that she was "Ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas," The Dixie Chicks were dropped from playlists at many radio stations and were subjected to many attacks on their character, even death threats. This song is about how she is not willing to forgive them for it.                                   (Songfacts)
