Midwestern Middle-Class Mayhem Lyrics

I'm having a breakdown

A mental collapse

Can't live in the present

Cause I'm stuck in the past

Nothing is pleasant

And I'm left aghast

My future looks bleak

My prospects look weak

I don't think we are in Kansas anymore

Kansas anymore

I don't want to live my life anymore

My life anymore

How do I avert this midlife crisis?

When will I arrive at anagnorisis?

Is this because I've been unrighteous?

Maybe I'll die from hemoptysis

I don't think we are in Kansas anymore

Kansas anymore

I don't want to live my life anymore

My life anymore

How do I avert this midlife crisis?

When will I arrive at anagnorisis?

Is this because I've been unrighteous?

Maybe I'll die from hemoptysis

Middle class grind stuck in the middle lane

Middle management job and that middle wage pay

Hustling from 8 to 5 that's a mid length day

But the bills don't stop it's mid weight rain

Paycheck to paycheck got no time to breathe

Tryna climb a mountain with a chain 'round my knees

Fuck the forest and fuck your trees!

This middle class shit makes me fucking seethe!

Wages stay flat but the rent's sky-high

Got dreams in my pocket they go there to die

Inflation's a beast got us locked in a cage

Turn the page feel the rage this is where we disengage

Trapped in the system Reaganomics' curse

Middle class drowning while the rich take first

Trickle-down lies they fed our grandparents that mess

Now we're working like dogs and can't afford the stress

The wages stay flat but the rent's sky-high

Got dreams in my pocket they go there to die

Inflation's a beast got us locked in a cage

Turn the page feel the rage this is where we disengage

Trapped in the system Reaganomics' curse

Middle class drowning while the rich take first

Trickle-down lies they fed our grandparents that mess

Now we're working like dogs and can't afford the stress

I don't think we are in Kansas anymore

Kansas anymore

I don't want to live my life anymore

My life anymore

Middle class grind stuck in the middle lane

Middle management job and that middle wage pay

Hustling from 8 to 5 that's a mid length day

But the bills don't stop it's mid weight rain

Paycheck to paycheck got no time to breathe

Tryna climb a mountain with a chain 'round my knees

Fuck the forest and fuck your trees!

This middle class shit makes me fucking seethe!

Hey kids it's time to take some action!

Burn it down

Burn the mother fucker down

Burn it down

Down down down

Burn the mother fucker down

Burn it down

Burn it down!!
