lyrics

Give me oxygen,
I'm the fourth of five children,
I'm the lesser middle.

Like a cat with no home,
I've no place to go,
I'm the lesser middle.

I keep hearing that
Lies ain't lies.
They keep telling me
Lies ain't lies.

You tell me take a side,
That there's no room for compromise.
Get out of the
Lesser middle,

But lies are lies.
Even if you want to believe,
Lies are lies.

Lies are lies
Even if you want to believe.
Lies are lies.

Don't indoctrinate me,
I'll never totally agree
From the lesser middle.

Beyond your black and white
There's plenty of gray that's right
In the lesser middle.

Stop telling me
Your lies ain't lies.
Even if you want to believe,
Your lies are lies.
