Just Jack - Middle Children lyrics

I watched the young girl on the tube Just fixing up her make-up And I'm runbbing on my baggy eyes Just trying har to wake up She must not have had a mirror 'casue on her phone she takes a picture of herself Just to see if her make-up's straight I watched the young boy on the street There in a pack all hoarding His body language speaking volumes of his endless yearning And I know it's driving him crazy How much he wants that Mercedes As they all look on in fear 'cause they don't know what he will do next And I know that this is how it is But I can't reconcile myself with how i live And they say that it's not where you're from But where you're at So, why do I wanna go Why do I wanna go back Advertising has us chasing bars and clothes Working jobs we hate so we can buy sh** we don't need We're the middle children of history, man No purpose nor place We have no grat war, no great depression Our great depression, is our lives And I know that this is how it is But i can't reconcile myself with how i live And they say that it's not where you're from But where you're at So, why do I wanna go Why do I wanna go back (back, bck,back,back...)
