The Menzingers

Midwestern States

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 will leave before you even notice

We were here or 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 L.A. is 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

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 'em when we're dead and sober

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

You said L.A. is 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 L.A. is 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
