Midwest Misery

Hey neighbor, how ya doing He says"I'm living the dream" I just smile and wave and go my way Cause I know he's lying to me Always in a hurry But none of us are getting anywhere And it ain't just cause a slow John Green Is taking up the road There must be something in the air Midwest Misery is takin' a toll Wearing us down from Minnesota to Ohio With nothing to see Nothing but rows and rows and rows Oh, we say"we're livin' the dream" But we're all just livin' in Midwest Misery When they hang up their blue collars And get home at the end of the day Well, the night turns into two more rounds Feelin' like a merry-go round Every day is the same And Midwest Misery is takin' a toll Wearing us down from Minnesota to Ohio With nothing to see Nothing but rows and rows and rows Oh, we say"we're livin' the dream" But we're all just livin' in Midwest Misery Well, it might be all the hand-me-downs Or none of us leaving our towns If you look back at our history All you're gonna see Is Midwest Misery Takin' a toll Wearing us down from Minnesota to Ohio With nothing to see Nothing but rows and rows and rows Oh, we say"we're living the dream" But we're all just livin" in Midwest Misery
