lyrics

Crucified on Andrew’s cross
Try’na resurrect the cause
Saying heritage not hate
But not saying what you celebrate
Is it your succotash and sweet tea
Or your hospitality
Your simple sensibilities
Or humble poverty
But never mind the blood-stained banner
Or the cotton tycoon’s manor
The elephant inside the room
Is dancing round the answer

(cause you’re)
Doubled down on southern pride
When dixie has already died
And no one’s waiting on the other side
Don’t let the dead bury me alive

Hey now bonnie blue
Are your daughters being true
Raising up the effigies
Down antebellum avenue
No Robert e lee
He can’t forgive your sins
He’s hollow inside
And he’s made out of tin
Fool me once
You can’t fool me again
So bless your hearts
And damn your kin

(cause you’re)
Doubled down on southern pride
When dixie has already died
And no one’s waiting on the other side
Don’t let the dead bury me alive

I am not my ancestors
And they are not my fault
But there is still a wound that festers
In wanton need of salt
If all that I am
Is the end of a branch
Of a crooked tree
Rooted deep in the past
Then cut me down
And plant me new
Wake me up
when springs in bloom

(so I’m not)
Doubled down on southern pride
When dixie has already died
And no one’s waiting on the other side
Don’t let the dead bury me alive
