"We'll Inherit the Earth" comes from Don't Tell a Soul, the Replacements' 1989 album, and it's Paul Westerberg's song all the way: he wrote the music and the words alone. The band produced it with Matt Wallace, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed, and it comes out big and clean. The guitars still churn and Westerberg still sings like he has something to prove, but the edges have been polished to a radio gleam.
