All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know

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 who you 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,
 'Cause nothing really matters when we're gone
 (Nothing really matters)

 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
