“Middle Fingers” is Missio’s second and breakout single. On the first day that the song aired on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation, the band was immediately contacted by dozens of interested record labels and management companies. They opted to sign with RCA Records in early 2017, and “Middle Fingers” soon clim...
[Verse 1]
I am tired of seeing pretty people everywhere
I am not a model, middle fingers in the air
I used to drink whiskey, now I'm stuck with Perrier
I'm an alcoholic, middle fingers in the air
[Chorus]
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
[Verse 2]
I don't like the music other people tend to share
Hate your loser lyrics, middle fingers in the air
I'm a starving artist nowhere close to millionaire
I prefer my Kia, middle fingers in the air
[Chorus]
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
[Bridge]
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
[Verse 3]
I'm a simple loner who the hell thinks that I care
I am not the party, middle fingers in the air
[Chorus]
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
[Outro]
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
(I'll just keep on, keep, keep on)
I'll just keep on throwing middle fingers in the air

MISSIO released Middle Fingers on Wed Dec 21 2016.
The song has been compared to the melody of the old children’s song “Farmer in the Dell”, but there is no connection. It also sounds like a slower version of the song “Everything Is Food” from the 1980s film Popeye.
Matthew Brue said the following about “Middle Fingers”:
That was actually the very first song we sat down together and wrote. I felt like, ‘Fuck everything right now.’ When you hear something like ‘Middle Fingers,’ you would assume it’s a fuck you to the world. It’s actually not. In a way, it’s a s...
