From the comfort zone of history
On the lips of trusted loved ones
To the lonely, fragile minds of angry youth
No sooner was it over
Than the memory made it nobler
The selective means by which to point the view
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
If it's all you can remember
Then it's been that way forever
And for six long generations it's been told
That among the fallen was tradition
That tradition was the mission
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Does the color really matter
On the face you blame for failure
All the shaming for a battles losing cause
If the victims and aggressors
Just remain each others' others
And the instigators never fight their own
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Surrender under protest if you must
Drive-By Truckers are an American band of alternative country music based in Athens, Georgia. Although three members out of six (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood and Shonna Tucker) are originally from the Shoals region of Northern Alabama, the band has deep roots in the Southern US music scene. Their sound is characterized by a "three axe attack", meaning three guitars alongside bass and drums. Like many other alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). Unlike most of their contemporaries, however, they have consistently pushed their labels to also release their records on vinyl. Some of their most representative songs include "Decoration Day", "The Boys From Alabama" and "Carl Perkins' Cash".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
