All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know - The Ataris

Is this how it was intended

The sunrise over smoke stacks in the Midwest

The beauty of this abandoned factory

Christmas lights blinking on and off all out

Of time

In what used to be your pink house dreams

Of a middle class America

I'm trying to believe in you but all these

Satellites and shattered dreams are

Blocking out my view

Please don't forget who you really are

Because nothing really matters when

We're gone

Fell in love with his keno waitress

They honeymooned in Memphis they

Were married by the drive up window

Trailer parks neon signs and an empty

Box of Lucky Strikes all used up from

The dashboard of America

I'm trying to believe in you this world

Sold its fate for parking lots and drunk

Sincerity

Please don't forget who you really are

Because nothing really matters when we're

You'll be saddened to know the train tracks

You once walked as a young bo

Y are now nothing but a graveyard

Please don't forget how small we really are

Because nothing really matters when we're gone

I'm trying to believe in you

I'm trying to believe in you

I'm trying to

I'm trying to

I'm trying to believe in you
