We've Been Had - Uncle Tupelo

There’s a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack

Used to sound like the sun on the horizon

Now I think we’ve been had

There’s a young girl screaming all the way in the back

Poor kid, she never saw it coming

Now she knows she’s been had

Watching the label spinning on my turntable

There’s no call waiting in my headphones

And every star that shines in the back of my mind

Is just waiting for its cover to be blown

There’s an eardrum bleeding, yeah it’s in my head

How could I still be so in love when I know

We’ve been had?

Republicans and Democrats can’t give you the facts

Your parents won’t tell you 'til you’re grown

That every star that shines in the back of your mind

Is just waiting for its cover to be blown

Flashing the badges, just like the law of averages

Nobody likes 'em where they’re from

And every star that hides on the back of the bus

Is just waiting for its cover to be blown
