Lyrics:
March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one Brenda's packing heat 'cause she don't like Mondays Underpaid teacher policing the hallways Print yourself a weapon and take it to the gun range (Ah, cut the shit) (You ain't goin' to the gun range) Standing with Emma and our sons and daughters Watchin' our youth have to solve our problems I'll follow them so who's comin' with me (Half of you love me) (Half already hate me) March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one Tell the ol' boys in the white bread lobby What they can and can't do with their bodies Temperatures are rising, cities are sinkin' (Ah, cut the shit) (You know your city is sinkin') Lies are truth and truth is fiction Everybody's talkin' Who's gonna listen? What the hell happened in Helsinki? March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one March, march to my own drum March, march to my own drum Hey, hey, I'm an army of one Oh, I'm an army of one -----
I have always loved The Chicks, Dixie or not. They’ve spoken their truth through the years, suffering serious professional and personal consequences. Bucking the country music scene, facing censorship and destruction of their work. But as their song once proclaimed, they “weren’t ready to make nice.” I’m glad they still aren’t.
Great post – headed to my site. Thanks.
