I've been called to testify
A hired gun who could abandon
All these fools who tried to sermonize at my-
Misery is measured, scarred with the system
A cold and callous case of
A calculated lie, (but in place of pain or brace), just
Lead me to the same mistakes
I always made and I'll always make
I don't want love, but I don't need hate
Just a simple middle of the road to keep my bearings straight
(Sax and Guitar diddly)
I screamed on my soapbox for the motorhood(?)
And I slaved for years just to be heard
Above a mess of masses and droning tones
But I can see reality is different than I'd hoped
Lead me to the same mistakes
I always made and I'll always make
I don't want love, but I don't need hate
Just a simple middle of the road to keep me on the true and narrow
No noise, I'm better poised to keep my bearings straight
I don't care if you believe me
I'm still here but I've completely
Lost myself inside myself again
I don't care if you believe me
I'm still here but I've completely
Lost myself inside myself again
Lead me to the same mistakes
I always made and I'll always make
I don't want love, but I don't need hate
Just a simple middle of the road to keep me on the true and narrow
No noise, I'm better poised to keep my bearings straight
