Wilco Picture
Rising from the ashes of venerable alt-countrypioneers Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedyhas guided his band's transformation from rootsy americanarevivalists to avant-garde guitar experimentalists and back again. Along the way, they have played darkly-themed 1970spop-inspired rock songs to sprawling rock epics. In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com. The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco's record company, the songs were distributed freely on the Internet.

Comment Lyrics

Wilco

Watch out for your friends
Well they may lose in the end
Sometimes their child can make you sin
What is a man without a friend?
We all live within a game
The word 'excuse' has many names
Where true friends really come
You can't afford to lose one
If all men were truly brothers
Why then do we hurt one another?
Love and peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please second my emotion!
All men were born to be free, yeah
What about you? And what about me?
This world is filled with hate!
There's nothing left
If you enslave me, you'll never rescue yourself
Well jealousy, as I recall
Has always been man's hardest fall
To conquer fear, well that's quite a quest
Until we do never rest
A child was born yesterday
Nothing but an innocent babe
Someone sowed a bitter seed
How could it grow but a bitter weed?
Society, how can you teach
If you don't practice what you preach?
If all men were truly brothers
Why then, can't we love one another?
Love and peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please second my emotion!
All men were born to be free, yeah
What about you? What about me?
This world is filled with hate!
There's nothing left
If you enslave me, you'll only hurt yourself
Hey you! Over there!
I want to know why you left
With all your riches and your fancy things
Can you tell me how many friends can you truly say you have?
