lyrics

Erudite, anodyne.
Take a stub, get in line.
Look at your phone until you get up to the front.

Picaresque, picturesque.
Post it all for their interest.
But they don’t like it cuz it’s not in the right font.

Well buddy, if you’ve got something to lose,
it’s the methods and disguises that you use
to shield the fact that what you’ve really got
isn’t that much more at all, but still a lot.

Cuz I feel so insecure,
but I know what I can be.
Look at them, their fists are shaking
cuz it’s not there for the taking.
But these assholes, they don’t know
what’s good for me.

Curb appeal, fallow field.
Pastoral just to reveal
that you can really rock a pair of overalls.

Passively, pensively.
Ate in Europe just to see
that it’s no better than a pretzel from the mall.

Well, if there is something grand to comprehend,
it’s that there is no amount that you can spend
to make them act the way they think you should-
and even so, why would you if you could?

about

Middle Relief New Jersey

Like so many other things, Middle Relief was borne out of the curious need for a creative outlet for a bunch of dudes in a suburban New Jersey basement.
