Midwestern States - The Menzingers

I hope this isn’t a burden

Thanks for having us over

We could sleep on the couch

We could sleep on the floor

We would leave before you even noticed we were here

Even notice us at all

Been having problems with our landlord

He said he’s taking us both to court

She got her hours slashed

And my unemployment’s drying up fast

We both got worthless diplomas from worthless universities

Two bachelors in worthless studies

But at least it made our parents happy

And cost a whole lot of money

You said LA’s only two days if we drive straight

Denver if we get tired

Said you didn’t mind stopping just as long as we got out of the midwest states

The midwestern states

The midwestern states

The midwestern states

The midwestern states

But I know somewhere in Chicago where we can stay for a little

I hope this isn’t a burden

Thanks for having us over

Most nights we always fall asleep with something dumb on Netflix

Some nights trash reality or kids cartoons or shitty documentaries

Not perfect but we’re good together

Yeah, me, you, and our bad tattoos

Yeah, all our stick and pokes, all our inside jokes

We’ll regret them when we’re dead and sober

But we’re still breathing and the party ain’t over

You said LA’s only two days if we drive straight

Denver if we get tired

Said you didn’t mind stopping just as long as we got out of the midwest states

You said LA’s only two days if we drive straight

Denver if we get tired

Said you didn’t mind stopping just as long as we got out of the midwest states

The midwestern states

The midwestern states

The midwestern states
