Westerman is discussing what it’s like to be in the middle class and all-around unremarkable during the ongoing war between the upper and lower classes.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Necktie's at the window
He's here to show you
He's got a right to achieve
These ivy cathedrals
All these organ donors, it seems to me that
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm Caught in the middle and
I'm tripping over the lowest wall
But keep on pushing it forwards
My grades are fine, but they're not good
And everybody's coming back from Harvard
[Verse 2]
Bloodlines at the disco
He's a law-major, she's got a right to a piece
Slip a hundred in her pocket, she'll thank you later
All the lonely sailors, lost at sea
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm Caught in the middle and
I'm tripping over the lowest wall
But keep on pushing it forwards
My grades are fine, but they're not good
[Chorus]
And everybody's coming back from Harvard
Yes, everybody's coming back from Harvard
Everybody's coming back for good
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Everybody's coming back from Harvard [x6]
Everybody's coming back for good
