Middle Man
Embracing the Middle Ground: Living Colour's Reflection on Individuality
Lyrics
I don't have a need to be the best
I don't feel the need to be the best.
Don't want to be just like the rest
I don't aspire to be like everyone else.
Just stay who I am
I prefer to remain true to myself.
Just an ordinary middle man
I see myself as an ordinary middle man.
Give me the happy medium
I seek a balanced and content state.
Don't want to be the one whose leading them
I don't want to be a leader; I'm content being myself.
I've got no master plan
I don't have a grand or detailed plan for life.
Just a simple mddle man
I am just a simple middle man.
Standing on a fine line between this and that
I am navigating a fine line between different perspectives.
Just biding my time waiting for a sign
I'm patiently waiting for a sign or indication of my uniqueness.
To tell me that I'm something special
I'm looking for confirmation that I have something special within me.
My ideas are mine alone
My ideas and thoughts are unique to me.
Not yours, not theirs, but I care
While I care about others, my ideas are my own.
I hurt for you, but not with you
I empathize with your pain but do not experience it alongside you.
I love that thing that's inside you
I appreciate the unique qualities inside you.
But I'm not your fan
I'm not a devoted follower or enthusiast.
I'm a stranger in a strange land
I feel like an outsider in unfamiliar territory.
I'm your middle man
I am your middle man, existing between extremes.
But I'm not your fan
I'm not a passionate supporter.
I'm a stranger in a strange land
I feel like a stranger in a place that is unfamiliar to me.
I am your middle man
I am your middle man.
