Remind myself, myself long ago
'Fore drive, 'fore I could vote
All the time holding a grudge
'Fore I knew people could die just because
Shaft in a sling, head for the bus
I knew what I liked was not very much
High at the time, tight to the grip
Always afraid of those normal American kids
Oh, all of my spirit leaked like a cut
I knew what I needed would never be enough
I was too high to change my bid
Always afraid to be a normal american kid
Always hating normal normal american empty summer days
Lightning crazed and cracked like an ache
High behind the garden shed
Painting myself as a normal American kid
I always hated it
High as high as high can loom
Under the sheets in my bedroom
I was high as high can get
Always afraid of those normal American kids
Oh, bongs and jams, and carpeted vans
Hate everything I don't understand
Hard times tightening the lid
I had to get away from those normal American kids
Always hated those normal American kids
Always hated those normal American kids

I Wilco sono una band americana di rock alternativo formatasi a Chicago nel 1994 da Jeff Tweedy, ex membro degli Uncle Tupelo. Tweedy ha riunito un gruppo di musicisti talentuosi per creare un suono unico che fonde elementi di country, folk, psichedelia e indie rock. Il loro primo album, *A.M.*, è stato un successo critico nel 1995, seguito da altri album importanti come *Being There* (1996), *Summerteeth* (1999) e *Yankee Hotel Foxtrot* (2002). Quest'ultimo, considerato uno dei migliori album del nuovo millennio, ha consacrato i Wilco come una delle band più influenti della scena musicale americana. Nel corso degli anni, la formazione è cambiata diverse volte, ma Tweedy rimane il fulcro creativo del gruppo. I Wilco sono noti per le loro performance dal vivo energiche e per la capacità di sperimentare con diversi generi musicali. Alcuni dei brani più rappresentativi includono "Via Chicago", "Jesus, Etc.", "Handshake Drugs" e "The Late Greats".
