Uncle Tupelo, the seminal '90s band from Belleville Illinois, is often hailed as the genesis of alt-country. While high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedyand Mike Heidorn may shirk that credit, their mutual quest to blend punk rockroots with traditional folk classic countrymelodies had a profound effect on rootsmusic. Formed in 1987, Uncle Tupelo released four full-length albums before disbanding in 1994. Tweedy formed the band Wilco, while Farrar formed Son Voltas well as performing solo. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Black Eye Lyrics
Uncle Tupelo
do you fear this man's invention
that they call atomic power
are we all in great confusion
do we know the time or hour
when a terrible explosion
may rain down upon our land
leaving horrible destruction
blotting out the works of man
are you, are you ready
for that great atomic power
will you rise and meet your savior in the air
will you shout or will you cry
when the fire rains from on high
are you ready for that great atomic power
there is one way to escape
and be prepared to meet the lord
when the mushroom of destruction fallsthere is a shielding sword
he will surely stand beside you
and you'll never taste of death
for your soul will fly to safety
and eternal peace and rest
are you, are you ready
for that great atomic power
will you rise and meet your savior in the air
will you shout or will you cry
when the fire rains from on high
are you ready for that great atomic power
