The band is Devotchka. I think I heard one of their songs on the trailer for "Everything is Illuminated" (which I have never got the chance to watch, yet). And last weekend, I heard them again, this time in, arguably, this year's best movie yet, "Little Miss Sunshine."
The song is "How it Ends." It could probably well be my year's favorite song to date. I'm still looking for their albums (though I have ordered the OST for "Little Miss Sunshine" which also includes my other big favorite, Sufjan Stevens)
Here's the lyric:
Hold your grandmother’s bible to your breast
Gonna put it to the test
You wanted it to be blessed
And in your heart
You know it to be true
You know what you gotta do
They all depend on you
And you already know
Yet you already know
How this will end
There is no escape
From the slave catcher’s songs
For all of the loved ones gone
Forever’s not so long
And in your soul
They poked a million holes
But you never let them show
Come on its time to go
And you already know
Yet you already know
How this will end
Now you’ve seen his face
And you know that there’s a place in the sun
For all that you’ve done
For you and your children
No longer shall you need
You always wanted to believe
Just ask and you’ll receive
Beyond your wildest dreams
And you already know
Yet you already know
How this will end
You already know (You already know)
You already know (You already know)
You already know How this will end
