Song of the Day 4/6: Uncle Tupelo, “We’ve Been Had”

From the last album before their breakup, back when Jeff Tweedy was still in touch with his punk roots. This was mostly a swipe at their old record company, which wanted the band to emulate Nirvana and refused to pay out royalties they were owed. But it does include this verse:

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
