The Waco Brothers

The Waco Brothers are an alternative country band in Chicago, Illinois, formed by Jon Langford of the Mekons. The group grew out of Langford's wish to play more country-influenced music as the Mekons concentrated more on a punk sound. They were originally put together simply for local Chicago shows, but the success of their Bloodshot Records albums allowed them to tour the US occasionally. Many of the members also participate in Langford's Pine Valley Cosmonauts project. more »

In this suburb of Babylon, they don't like to wait 
They kill the messenger 'cos the message was late 
Kill the child starving at the gate 
Predicting the rain of the state

See Willy fly by, in the by and by 
In the never you mind, in the wait and see 
In the us and them, in the them and us, in the them and me 
He's the exception that proves the rule 
All your dreams are a lie 
Now much will you swallow when Willy flies by?

There's something rotten round here, nobody forgot 
All the rest on the bottom, white men still on the top 
Walk and talk with Suzie, shoot to cripple and main 
Shoot to kill again and again and again

Gonna build me a house, on a mountain so high 
Sit in my car and stare up at the sky 
The dream is a lie, put it to the test 
One man rising up on the backs of the rest 
On the backs of his family, all the duds and the Does 
'Til the sun melts his wings and down we all go

See Willy fly by, in the by and by 
In the never you mind, in the dollar store light 
In the there you go, in the wait and see 
In the us and them, in the them and us, 
In the should have been me 
He's the exception that proves the rule 
All your dreams are a lie 
See trains all leaving without you, when Willy flies by
