Feeling sad? Put on a Wilco record.
That’s the sentiment expressed in “Wilco (The Song)” from Wilco (The Album) by — you’ve probably guessed by now — Wilco.
Here, Tweedy and company posit themselves as “a sonic shoulder for you to cry on.”
Wilco (The Song) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Are you under the impression
This isn't your life?
Do you dabble in depression?
Is someone twisting a knife in your back?

Oh, this is a fact that you need to know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby
[Verse 2]
Are times getting tough?

Put on your headphones before you explode
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby
[Bridge]

A sonic shoulder for you to cry on
[Chorus]
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby
[Verse 3]
Is someone twisting a knife in your back?
Are you being attacked?
Oh this is a fact that you need to know
Oh
[Chorus]
Wilco
Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby
