Hanging like a picture on the wall
Hanging by a nail trying not to fall
Yeah, I've been hanging in this place for oh so long
Feeling like a mouse upon a wheel
Spinning round and round, I’ve had my fill
Yeah, I’ve been running for my life but standing still
I’m in the middle, in the middle with you
If it hurts just a little then it’s got to be true
I’m in the middle just a face in the crowd
It’s a long way up and a short way down
I’ve been getting by on just a thread
Paying all my bills like I’ve been bled
And I’m feeding everyone before I’m fed
With my own blood and sweat
I’m in the middle, in the middle with you
If it hurts just a little then it’s got to be true
I’m in the middle just a face in the crowd
It’s a long way up and a short way down
Oh does anybody notice me, does anybody care
Take a good look around I can see you there
Feeling like a flag upon a pole
I get ripped to shreds while I stand tall
And my tattered flags been waving far too long
I’m in the middle, in the middle with you
If it hurts just a little then it’s got to be true
I’m in the middle just a face in the crowd
It’s a long way up and a short way down
Long way up a short way down
I’m in the middle, monkey in the middle
Hurts more than a little being in the middle
I’m in the middle, monkey in the middle
I’m in the middle, yeah
