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

All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know Lyrics

Is this how it was intended???
The sunrise over smokestacks 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,
'cause 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 on the
dashboard of America.

I’m trying to believe in you but
this
world sold its faith for parking lots and drunk sincerity. 
Please
don’t forget how small we really are,
'cause nothing really matters
when we’re...

You’ll be saddened to know, the train
tracks
you once walked as a young boy 
are now nothing but a
graveyard.

Please don’t forget how small we really are,

nothing really matters when we’re gone.
I’m trying to
believe in you.
