| 作词 : Cougar | |
| Everything is slower here, everybody's got a union card | |
| They get up on Sunday and go to church of their choice | |
| Come back home cook out in the backyard | |
| And they call this the Great Midwest | |
| Where the cornfields row and flow | |
| They're all 5 years ahead of their time | |
| Or 25 behind, I just don't know | |
| All the young men talk about their 4 wheel drives | |
| And how much money they're gonna make on Friday night | |
| And, they like to brag about how they mistreat their girlfriends | |
| Hey, let's get drunk, party it up, start a fight | |
| And they call this the Great Midwest | |
| Sure make a hell of a car | |
| And the old hearts, they race their way through the night | |
| The upheaval of who they really are | |
| Growin' up under normal conditions, television and radio | |
| That's just about all of this whole world | |
| That any of us get to see, get to know | |
| And they call this the Great Midwest | |
| Where you sacrifice your body and soul | |
| And no one really wants to get even | |
| Most of us find it hard enough just lettin' go | |
| Don't get me wrong I ain't complaining | |
| I ain't braggin' nor do I mean to place blame | |
| That's just the way things are around here | |
| And there's a future carryin' my name on it | |
| Sayin' hey man, you gonna stick around here you better get on it | |
| If you're gonna stick around here you better make yourself some real good friends | |
| Well I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth | |
| So I can't talk about the big city life | |
| But if you wanna talk about bein' bored and runnin' | |
| Away from yourself, hell I talk to you all night | |
| And they call this the Great Midwest | |
| Where livin' is just gettin' by | |
| And people trade in their happiness | |
| For a smokestack, a big money deal in the sky |
