Whats the problem here
Whats the noise
Im just waiting for the man (yea)
Me and the boys

Hes got the goods
Weve got the twenties, tens and fives
Everybodys doing it
Living desperate lives (living on the edge)

Desperate lives
Im stuck in the middle
Desperate lives
My life is a riddle
And Im sure theres a way out
When I want it

Sometimes I worry
But Im no fool
I keep it to myself
Cause you gotta stay cool

Desperate lives
Im stuck in the middle
Desperate lives

Sometimes I feel my life floating away
And times seems so precious
I want to hold you and say
Im stuck in the middle

Desperate lives
My life is a riddle
Desperate lives
Im stuck in the middle

Ive got this friend you know hes real cool
He gave new meaning to the term high school
Sometimes I worry
But Im no fool
I keep it to myself
Cause you gotta stay cool

Desperate lives
Im stuck in the middle
Desperate lives
My life is a riddle
And Im sure theres a way out
When I want it

Momma just looks confused and my daddy said
Ive got this bomb tick, tick, ticking in my head
Im stuck in the middle

Desperate lives
My life is a riddle
Desperate lives
Im stuck in the middle
