Younger Than America

	I'm sick of blowing all this smoke out
	Trying hard to feel doubt
	My book dropped to the ground
	At the part where the frontiers are all pulled down
	But they couldn't and they wouldn't have
	They couldn't and they shouldn't have
	But they could and they would have
	I inherited a nature
	In a language all worn out
	And wallowed by the windows
	At a rambling house at the edge of
	What I couldn't have
	I couldn't and
	I shouldn't have
	I could and
	I should have
	Someday you'll find a heaven
	Full of the guilt and freedom
	Of somewhere younger than
	AmericaBordering what we can hope to have
	Through the north woods
	East out of this slow motion town
	Through the willows and the aspens'
	Cause you've been weighed down
	Full of what
	You couldn't have
	You couldn't and you shouldn't have
	You could and you should have
	Someday you'll find a heaven
	Full of the guilt and freedom
	Of somewhere younger than
	AmericaBordering what we can hope
	And from the first edition
	Of East of
	EdenYou find a version of
	AmericaBorn in what we can hope to have
	Someday you'll find a heaven
	Full of the guilt and freedom
	Of somewhere younger than
	AmericaBordering what we can hope
