All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know Lyrics

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 the bleakest dreams of 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 it’s 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 boy are
now nothing but a graveyard.
Please don’t forget how small we really are, because nothing really matters
when we’re gone.
