๐ Lyrics
I've been called to testify
A hired gun you could abandon
All these fools who tried to sermonize
If my misery is measured, scored with a system
A cold and callous case of a calculated lie
But in place of pain or praise
Just leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made, 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
I screamed on my soapbox for the murder of hurt
And I slaved for years just to be heard
Above the mess of masses and droning tones
But I concede, reality is different than I'd hoped
Leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made, I'll always make
And 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
Leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made and I'll always make
And I don't want love (love), but I don't need hate (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
A hired gun you could abandon
All these fools who tried to sermonize
If my misery is measured, scored with a system
A cold and callous case of a calculated lie
But in place of pain or praise
Just leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made, 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
I screamed on my soapbox for the murder of hurt
And I slaved for years just to be heard
Above the mess of masses and droning tones
But I concede, reality is different than I'd hoped
Leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made, I'll always make
And 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
Leave me to the same mistakes
I've always made and I'll always make
And I don't want love (love), but I don't need hate (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
