Too Far in the Middle

[ entitled Too Far Up the Middle ] Some songs are timeless so I’ll try to sing me one. Like Eve of Destruction or Jimi’s Machine Gun. Politics and religion, it’s smart to stay away. The whole worlds goin’ crazy more and more each and every day. [ verse 2 ] Jack Bruce and Cream had Politician Man. One more just like Sly , I gots to take a stand. Sly and Family Stone. We gots to live together. Lately the extremes seem like underground weather. [ bridge ] but I like Charlie Daniels and everything he writes. I’m too far in the middle and higher than a kite [ verse 3 ] we don’t need no violence. We need more violins. We need Grateful Dead with a flying high Pig Pen. We need more Willie Nelson. I love the way he thinks. And all this talk of violence, I think it really stinks. What the world needs now wrote Hal and Bacharach Its timeless as the stars. Wish I could bring it back. And marijuana laws are rules meant to be bent. The guns own crazy people and now we’re heaven sent.
