Before Us - Wilco

I’m surprised, staring at the knives

Lying silent in the drawer

I hear the front door ring in my guitar

Empty up against the wall

Alone with the people who have come before

Alone with the people who have come before

Alone with the people who have come before us

I’m high for the people who have come before

I’m high for the people who have come before

I’m high for the people who have come before us

I remember when wars would end

Remember when wars would end?

Now‚ when something’s dead

Now‚ when something’s dead

We try to kill it again

Alone with the people who have come before

Alone with the people who have come before

Alone with the people who have come before us
