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.

We've Been Had Lyrics
Uncle Tupelo
some folks find that their role in lifeis to fail at everything they trywhile other folks see but not like me
there's one thing that they're damn good at
gather around you all
come around and see
those who stand tall
why don't you please watch me fall
the hole it is wide and it's there to divideit's no one's fault, it's put there by designand there's a bridge yet to build as many men have willedthat can stand the weight of all those who wish to pass
gather around you all
come around and see
those who stand tall
why don't you please watch me fall
