Middle Children |
| I watched the young girl on the tube |
| Just fixing up her make-up |
| And I’m runbbing on my baggy eyes |
| Just trying har to wake up |
| She must not have had a mirror |
| 'casue on her phone she takes a picture of herself |
| Just to see if her make-up's straight |
| I watched the young boy on the street |
| There in a pack all hoarding |
| His body language speaking volumes of his endless yearning |
| And I know it’s driving him crazy |
| How much he wants that Mercedes |
| As they all look on in fear |
| 'cause they don’t know what he will do next |
| And I know that this is how it is |
| But I can’t reconcile myself with how i live |
| And they say that it’s not where you’re from |
| But where you’re at |
| So, why do I wanna go |
| Why do I wanna go back |
| Advertising has us chasing bars and clothes |
| Working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need |
| We’re the middle children of history, man |
| No purpose nor place |
| We have no grat war, no great depression |
| Our great depression, is our lives |
| And I know that this is how it is |
| But i can’t reconcile myself with how i live |
| And they say that it’s not where you’re from |
| But where you’re at |
| So, why do I wanna go |
| Why do I wanna go back |
| (back, bck, back, back…) |
