	Mildly hypnotic music with one of my better melodies, sung by someone who can carry the melody quite well. Written when this country was feeling pretty good about itself, but I wasn't feeling good about much. The song holds more meaning for me as time goes on - the mark of a good song to me.

	Story Behind the Song Written as Paul created the bass line and Don locked into a drum part. I threw on a simple as pie guitar line and the melody took about 2 seconds to write. The lyrics came the next day. We always liked the song this way, but when we recorded it, we gave it to JoAnna for the lead vocals and added some effects like the disjointed piano part to add to the feel. The recording was supposed to be 2 mintues long, but we just let Don play long on the drums to fade it. After a while of recording, we decidd to let the whole mess play on and on. Lyrics Waking Up To The Sound of Lies Radio is just sad If I close my eyes and go back to sleep Will it change in a little while? I know that we're always getting better The weatherman tells me We're always getting better Take me down to the riverside Wash these sins from my bones If you hold me down long enough Maybe then I'll see the light I know that we're always getting better The President tells me We're always getting better.
