Drive-By Truckers

Drive-By Truckers are an alternative country/Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though two out of five current members (Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama, and the band strongly identifies with Alabama. Their music uses three guitars as well as bass, drums, and now keyboards. Like many alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch, 16-track open reel tape recorders). However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries, the Drive-By Truckers have consistently pushed their labels to also release the band's records in a vinyl format. more »

The world wakes up this morning
I'm sorry for the news
Wrapped up in a tinfoil blanket 
Without any shoes
Babies in cages

I'm sorry to my children
I'm sorry what they see
I'm sorry for the world 
That they'll inherit from me
Babies in cages

And are we so divided 
That we can't at least agree
This ain't the country that 
Our granddads fought for us to be?
Babies in cages

Surf's up in the cities 
Where the next wars will be fought
I'm sorry we've forgotten
Every word that we've been taught
Babies in cages

I bang my head against it
Smash guitars, and scream and shout
Standing on the beach 
Watching the tide go out
Babies in cages

And Standing in the darkness 
To answer for our sins
Children changing each others diapers in a pen
Babies in cages

They'll look out from the heavens
As we calculate the cost
Our souls cry out 
For the better angels we have lost

Look out from the heavens
As we calculate the cost
Our souls cry out 
For the better angels we have lost
