Not Ready To Make Nice lyrics

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 kinda 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

    hi.I'm from Iran and I think no one better than me could talk about not having the freedom of speak.
    but we say our opinion although we know we may be killed for it!
    I like this song cause I had a time like that I was betrayed so hard...but I believe we should FORGIVE and it sounds good!!!!you recieve such happiness when you have the ability to forgive...
    why you guys keep talking about the president?I'm currious to know what does this song have to do with him???

    I was reading some of the coments and telling someone to go die is a terribal thing the dixie chicks have made mistakes but who hasent they have there freedom of speach as dose everyone els I think that georg bush and everyone els who hates them for wat they said frgot that our constatution alous everyone to there free speach and they had the guts to stand up for what they belive in the people that hate them for that are so childish you need to listen to this song more clostly . so for me I shall always remember them as the sassy singers that they are and so should you thank you for listining.

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I can totally relate to the part where they received threats because they voiced their opinion. In my workplace I've always stood up for what is right so I always bump heads with tons of people who love bending the rules. I've basically been told that if I don't go with the flow my career will be ruined.... but what the heck!

    I totally support standing up for what you believe in!

    This is the song of our time. It paints a picture in song, it's relevant and is explicit. It questions the relevance of war and conflict.

    i think this song is amazing and so powerful. being from england and not america i cant comment on your president. but i will say the dixie chicks had every right to say what they wanted. to the people on here who said they suck and should die - i dont quite think you got the point of their lyrics! listen again - you are like the one who wrote the letter to the stranger! plus if you can say things like that about them then surely they can say what they like about the president!
    this song rocks. well done dixie chicks. x

    nice site!

    This song is really amazing and I think that Natalie Maines has got guts to sing it. This country is free so we can say whatever we want. Don't be rude to other posters.

    The president isnt even from Texas. he's from New England ( and I am ashamed of that). USA love it or leave it. And being from the USA means you are able to say "the president sucks". It is one of our most fundamental rights. So if you dont like that- Go to france you fascist and go back to civics class or read a book and learn what being an American means.

    Go Dixie Chicks!!

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a different opinion, but can you do it intelligently? Abby is "reasonably" coherent with her comments, but come on guys. You make yourselves sound like red-neck trailer trash when you resort to name-calling and death threats. You are probably the same people who threatened the life of the driver who hit Dale Earnhardt. At least try and show some intelligence when you post. We should be ashamed of anyone who can't put a coherent thought together and has the nerve to trash someone else.

    haha i agree with the girl above me! dixie chicks SUCK! and we should all be ashamed that they are from the United States. if you have a problem with the president..MOVE TO FRANCE you dumb sluts

    ps--hey the kid a few posts above me..the kid Jason. yeah you sound like a complete faggot.

    DIXIE CHICKS YOU SUCK!!!!!!! GO DIE

  • abby 0 points

    This song is horrible. The Dixie chicks SUCK! big time. they are the most disrespectful, horrible singing group ou tthere and they should be completely ashamed. saying to disagree with the president is one thing but saying your "ashamed that he is from Texas" is a completely different thing. you make me sick

    What Mr. Bush and the right wing keep forgetting is that it is the ability to disagree that makes this country great! I am also sick of him and his cronies equating vocal opposition to his policies in Iraq with non-support of the troops. What happened to our freedoms? Whether you agree with or disagree with the Chicks, and I happen to agree with them, we have a great country that lets them have an opinion.

    I love this song. i think it takes guts to do what the dixie chicks did. People, or shall i say, Americans fail to remember that The United States constitution allows us the freedom to say anything negative about anyone we desire. Im not ready to make nice, is a powerful song and sends out a powerful message declaring everyone to remember that sometimes we have to stand up for what we believe in, even if we stand alone. We as American need to learn our history, or we shall be doomed to repeat it.

    DIXIE CHICKS I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR NOT BEING READY TO MAKE NICE!

    the song's great! it relates to my story. i'm not ready to make nice. i haven't forgotten what that bull has done to me. and i'm still waiting for that time when wounds will heal.. i wish it'd come now though... i'm tired but i can't forgive yet, but i'm still so angry

    this song is such a great thing...the video is really amazing too...

  • Kelly 0 points

    Standing up for what you believe is never easy. I find this video and song very powerful. The energy behind the images and words is so amazing and moving. I value a persons right to speak out and I hope she never shuts her pretty mouth!

    Being a strong person isn't easy behing a strong powerful woman is damn near impossible...but you are doing a great job!

    I love it.
