Lyrics
Midwest Folk
When you?re on the odyssey do you miss your family?
Distracted by fake characters, like cartoons on TV
Daily push your propaganda to oblivious birds
Graffiti on the billboard sign Satan?s dying words
Wanna take a trip to the west coast?
with my friends out east
Midwest folk I love em the most
Dogmatic Eskimos are few & far between
Grappling with malamutes & huskies is routine
Go on strap on snowshoes trek across the tundra
Meet audacious Aussies in the land down under
Wanna take a trip to the west coast?
with my friends out east
Midwest folk I love em the most
I?m alive while dreaming & sleeping while I?m awake
Wading through salty tears, wailing
Help me escape from the slaughter --lead me to freshwater
For heavens sake
Wanna take a trip to the west coast?
with my friends out east
Midwest folk I love em the most
