Somewhere in the Middle

This crazy world’s got us talkin’ to ourselves

instead of to each other

The risks that we take will make or break

our sisters and our brothers

Power is just an illusion

it can be broken down into dust

greedy S.O.B.s got us on our knees

singin’ “In God We Trust”

But people got the power to change it if they only knew it

Better shake it up and rearrange it

So let’s get to it

They’re forcing us to choose a side

They’d love for us to run and hide

But we all have a voice, so let’s decide

Somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

Somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

“You can’t tell me nothin,’’

Seems to be the word of the day

“Why don’tcha go back where ya came from, boy

We don’t need you anyway”

Everybody’s got their pain

And they look for someone else to blame

At the end of the day, we’re all just people

Troubles are all the same

People got the power to hold on tight

as well as to let things go

Gotta talk it out if it takes all night

We need to get on with the show

They’re forcing us to choose a side

They’re takin’ us for a ride

So come along with me if you’ll abide

Somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

Somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

They’re forcing us to choose a side

They’re takin’ us for a ride

But we all got a voice so let’s decide

that somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

Red state, blues state

I’m from the school of hard knocks

Wanna see my degree?

Somewhere in the middle of the riddle is the truth

somewhere in the middle

somewhere in the middle

somewhere in the middle

somewhere in the middle
