🎤 Lyrics: Tyler Childers - Long Violent History

It’s the worst that it’s been since the last time it happened
It’s happening again right in front of our eyes
There’s updated footage, wild speculation,
Tall tales, and hearsay, and absolute lies
Being passed off as factual
When actually the actual
Cause is there awkwardly blocking the way
Keeping us all from enjoying our evening
Shoving its roots through the screens in our face

Now what would you get if you heard my opinion
Conjecturin’ on matters that I ain’t never dreamed
In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman
Based on the way that the world’s been to me
It’s called me belligerent,
It’s took me for ignorant
But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be
Could you imagine just constantly worrying
Kicking, and fighting, and begging to breathe

How many boys could they haul off this mountain
Shoot full of holes cuffed and laying in the streets
‘Till we’d come into town in a stark ravin’ anger
Looking for answers and armed to the teeth,
With thirty-aught-sixes,
And Papaw’s old pistol.
How many you reckon?
Would it be four or five?
Or would that be the start of a long violent history
of tucking our tails as we try to abide?
Or would that be the start of a long violent history
of tucking our tails as we try to abide?

Songwriter: Tyler Childers
Producers: Tyler Childers and Jesse Wells

[CountryParadise]

With this surprise track, Tyler Childers offers his always sharp, insightful commentary and a plea for empathy, as he stands in solidarity with those fighting for racial equality.

*Question of the day:* How are you?

[stonywilliams]

As a black man growing up all up and down the Eastside of America, mostly in the south..I can't find the words to explain how deeply this song makes my soul weep. I JUST WANT YALL TO KNOW, it's nice some of yall hear us, to know some of yall understand or at least try to. I can't wait to show my family and friends that we have moral support like this. THANK YOU.

[jacobingle]

People forget that some of their country music heroes were badass civil rights activist. Johnny Cash prison tour was for prison reform. Much respect for Tyler

[lochinver]

Scotland here, and Tyler Childers is one of the most talented singer/songwriters I've ever came across… and from an outsider perspective, it’s clear that this man is a good human being.
I’ve listened to this song many times and I can’t hear any preaching, or blaming or dividing… It’s just saying that we should take a step back and ask ourselves ‘do we treat people the way we want to be treated’… regardless of media gossip, race, religion, political persuasion, colour or creed.
Tyler Childers is a good egg… and you’re lucky to have him America.

[matthewhuszarik]

Tyler Childers is the song writer country has needed for so long. Yes we have heard every version of growing up dirt poor or loosing your love. It is refreshing to see something deeper growing in country music. I think if given a chance this is how country goes mainstream.
I am looking forward to much more social comment by Tyler Childers so many other music forms have become so trite who would have thought that country music might start a music renaissance?

[MrCaelant]

Man, im a white guy watching this from Canada and really feeling solidarity with all the brothers and sisters south of the border. We love Tyler up here, I think he's a pinnacle of what the southern American mantra should be all about.

[MeMyrrh]

Bless you, Tyler, for not being afraid to speak your/our truth

[jordanrichart]

Two years later and it's still the best contemporary commentary on society.

[beestonsteve]

One of the most important songs of the 21st century, by one of the great songwriters from any century.

[jalenandrew]

Used to love Tyler, thought he was an amazing musician. But after dropping this I have gained so much more respect for him, an absolute legend.

[Jackaboy]

I know if it happened to me and mine I’d fight like hell. He’s right. It’s time we stood together as one. Thank you Tyler, and god bless you and yours

[FumbDuck]

This shit gives me chills every time i hear it. Childers is what country music should be

[marcusa.fromthebay]

Fred Hampton, Bobby Seales, and Huey P. Newton would be down with this song, word-for-word.

[kaylas]

The irony of this isn’t lost on me a bit. God I just love him.

[vincentholly]

Never heard this song before today, but I absolutely love it. And for those of you in the comment section that stand in solidarity and support, THANK YOU from the depths of my soul. I'd gladly sit in the backyard with you and drink a cold one or stand arm in arm with you fighting until the last.

[imatsoup]

This is what has people up in arms? This was wonderful and honest.

[mr.bandity]

Remember Blair Mountain and the Coal Wars, people, it was us at one point. We need to stand with our brothers and sisters of other races against oppression and authority. Imagine uniting the entire country together, from the urban dwellers to holler dwellers, against those who wish to do harm to good working people. A united fight against brutality. Bring back the Appalachians that used to be, not the cowards that back the blue.

[PamGallagher-xvsq]

Amen to this song! Should be heard every where!

[spikereynolds]

I love this. It's so raw, it's hits so hard. This is the kind of narrative excellence that, at least in my opinion, mainstream country has been missing.

[sarahshaw-stahlke]

Thank you for your courage, Tyler Childers. In the words of Bryan Stevenson, "You have to stand even when people say, “sit down.”
