The New Pornographers - Jackie Lyrics

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

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 at me

Are you gonna start the sunshine?
Are you gonna start the sunshine?
Are you gonna start the sunshine?
Are you gonna start the sunshine?
Are you gonna start the sunshine?

Visualize success!
Visualize success!
Visualize success, but don't believe your eyes
What's a version of the world without the will to despise it?

When people get paid just to set you straight it means

Jackie, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jackie, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jackie, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jackie, hey, hey, hey, hey
Jackie
