Jackie by The New Pornographers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jackie, you yourself said it best when you said
There's been a break in the continuum
The United States used to be lots of fun

Back when the man and the myth
Of the sands and the cliffs
Composed a symphony to good works and better business

[Verse 2]
Jackie, you yourself said it best when you said
One day we'll look upon a washed up Atlantic
Get our kicks on an ocean of antics
And making history has never been so easy

So visualize success but don't believe your eyes
There's a world of wisdom and pain to despise
When people get paid just to set you straight it means

[Chorus]
Are you gonna start the sunshine?
(Who is gonna stop the sunshine?)
And you're gonna start the sunshine
(Who is gonna stop the sunshine?)
[Outro]
Visualize success
Visualize success
Visualize success but don't believe your eyes
What is a version of the world without the will to despise it?
And when people get paid just to set you straight it means...

Jackie
(Hey, hey)
Jackie
(Hey, hey)
