Merchandise, surely?
When they meet up from time to time, they jam. Gits. Had the pleasure of seeing them on the last three UK tours.
This was from their 'comeback' CD, a few years after they were turned into heroines/pariahs, dependant on your political views
It was at the time of the Gulf War, & they denounced President George Bush on stage, in London, claiming that they were ashamed to also be Texans
(we saw them, at the Manchester Apollo, which was the previous concert date

Uproar followed, CDs smashed, bans from radio-play
Death threats!!!
The lyrics are pure political gold
The black being daubed, is the oil or the middle-east, & for Bush (as the family is involved in oil)

Not Ready To Make Nice

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
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
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
I've still got my tour t-shirt, but too fat to wear a 'small' now
