I know that when I wake up
I'm bound to face the world
I'll hold on to this prison, baby
Or they'll throw me to the wolves
I'm a middle man mister
They're gonna let me through the walls
I'm a friend to ever prisoner
In a world that blames them all
Bound to be a visitor
Abiding by the law
But I'd still be in shackles, baby
If I followed them all
I'm a middle man, mister
They're gonna let me through the walls
I've been fighting the war with sound
Since I could barely crawl
Sometimes I get to wondering
Just where it all went wrong
Still I hear that same ol' blues song
Cause I know
They're gonna let me through the walls
I'm a middle man, mister
And I'm gonna heal em' all
