Controversy erupted over the Dixie Chicks in 2003 following a critical comment vocalist Natalie Maines made of the American President George W. Bush while performing in a concert in London, United Kingdom. In relation to the forthcoming invasion of Iraq, Maines said, “…we don’t want this war, this v...
[Verse 1]
Forgive? Sounds good
Forget? I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting
[Verse 2]
I'm through with doubt
There's nothin' left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep payin'
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I know you've said
"Can't you just get over it?"
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
What it is you think I should
[Outro]
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting
[Produced by Rick Rubin]
Not Ready to Make Nice was written by Dan Wilson & Emily Strayer & Natalie Maines & Martie Maguire.
Not Ready to Make Nice was produced by Rick Rubin.
The Chicks released Not Ready to Make Nice on Fri Mar 24 2006.
Producer Rick Rubin told Rolling Stone,
We did this at a very emotional time for them. They had gone from being the biggest female group in the world, in history actually, to being completely, in one fell swoop, blacklisted [after Natalie Maines said she was “ashamed” President Bush was from Texas]...
