[intro]

[Verse 1]
朝イチの会議で うなずくだけの芸
上のジョークには 愛想笑い
下はスマホ見て こっち見ちゃいない
（オイオイ…聞いてる？）

[Pre-Chorus]
右見て左見て 気を遣う毎日
立ち位置間違えたら 即ゲームオーバー
無難にこなせば 平和は続くけど
（…それでいいのか？）

[Chorus]
Hey! ここは中間地点！（Oh yeah!）
上には合わせて 下にはフォロー
Hey! 誰も気づかない！（Oh no!）
この汗と涙のマリアージュ

[melodic interlude]

[Verse 1]
ランチの選択も いつも中庸
ヘルシー定食 or がっつり丼
「飲みに行くぞ」と言われたけど
（いや…今日は…）「ぜひ！」

[Pre-Chorus]
予定があっても 断れないのが
「管理職のサバイバル術」
週末ゆっくり 休めるはずなのに
（…電話が鳴ってる）

[Chorus]
Hey! ここは中間地点！（Oh yeah!）
家庭に嘘つき 二次会へゴー
Hey! 財布もスッカラカン！（Oh no!）
笑顔で帰宅のミラクル

[Bridge]
あぁ… 昇進するのも地獄
かといって 降格も無理だろ？
このままずっと 続くのか？
（え？ もっと働け？）

[Big Finish]
Hey! ここは中間地点！（Oh yeah!）
この世はすべて バランスゲーム
Hey! もう少し休ませて！（Oh no!）
でも月曜 朝から会議～～！

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Nodding along at the morning meeting, just my routine
Fake a smile at the boss’s old joke scene
The juniors are glued to their phones all day
(Hey, hey… are you even listening?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking left, looking right, walking on a tightrope
One wrong move, and it’s game over, no hope
Play it safe, and the peace might last
(…But is that really enough?)

[Chorus]
Hey! Stuck in the middle zone! (Oh yeah!)
Playing up and playing down just to get along
Hey! No one sees the strain! (Oh no!)
The sweat and tears in this crazy marathon

[Melodic Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Even lunch is a careful call—middle of the road
Healthy set meal or a hearty bowl?
Got asked to join for drinks tonight
(Uh… well…) "Sure, why not!"

[Pre-Chorus]
Even with plans, I can’t say no
It’s “Manager Survival 101,” you know
Weekends should be my time to chill
(…But the phone’s ringing still)

[Chorus]
Hey! Stuck in the middle zone! (Oh yeah!)
Lying to my family—off to round two!
Hey! My wallet’s running dry! (Oh no!)
Still, I smile when I walk through the door

[Bridge]
Ah… Promotion feels like hell
But a demotion? Nah, won’t sit well
Is this the life I’m doomed to lead?
(Wait… did you say "work harder"?)

[Big Finish]
Hey! Stuck in the middle zone! (Oh yeah!)
Life’s a never-ending balancing act
Hey! Can I get a little break? (Oh no!)
Monday’s here—another meeting attack!
