Dixie Chicks--Not ready to make nice《依然没学乖》

Dixie Chicks“南方小鸡”，或者叫“狄克西女子合唱团”，美国乡村女子乐队，听起来怪别扭的，“chick”在美国的俚语里表示“少女或少妇”，"Dixie" 是南方的州的意思，所以，“Dixie Chicks”有时也被称为“南方妞儿”，换了在中国没准就叫什么“南方美少女”组合，或者叫什么“南方女孩”之类的，哈～
乐队始创于80年代末的4人组合，90年代中期重组后基本确定了现在的3人组合，并逐步形成美国乡村音乐（民谣）以及篮草风格，依靠独具特色的演唱风格和深厚演奏功底多次摘取赢得格莱美大奖～～
这次第49届格莱美，三只小鸡们凭借“Taking The Long Way”一举拿下5座大奖，而另一方面，这5项大奖也是对她们那种“敢说，反压”的精神的肯定，03年，主唱Natalie在伦敦的一次演出中说“我为我有布什这样一个老乡而感到羞耻”，寒～～2003年美国人对911的惶恐与报复心里余波未平，布什的对伊政策仍有相当多的支持者，“小鸡”们立即变成众矢之的，抗议、漫骂、封杀、甚至组织讨伐......让我想到“Chicken，run...”里面的那些可爱又可怜的小鸡们......
When Maines made her comment on March 10 2003, 10 days before Operation Iraqi Freedom unleashed "shock and awe" over Baghdad, the Dixie Chicks were probably the biggest act in country music. Yet within days, their music vanished from the charts and the airwaves, apoplectic rednecks crushed piles of their CDs with tractors, and the FBI was feverishly monitoring death threats against the trio. It was the most heinous pop-star outrage since Ozzy Osbourne urinated on the Alamo.
然而，她们顶住了压力，时间与事实肯定了她们的固执与成就.....布什承认了对伊政策的失误，人们也逐渐的转变的认识，保守的中西部乡村音乐与封杀者估计也是非常的尴尬了......

We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.

除去政治因素，这首哥还是很耐听的，歌名不知道是不是故意的，我就不学乖，你又能把我咋D...enjoy it

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,
Why 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 saying,
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,
Saying 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.
