| Always wanted to move to the city |
| Always wanted out of my hometown |
| Always thought it was so shitty |
| Had bigger dreams, I saw bigger skies |
| That’ll all seem so petty |
| When we’re made extinct by AI |
| I won’t live to regret it |
| But I’ll probably wish I’d been at home to die |
| To die |
| To die |
| My midland’s guilt caught my midland’s shame |
| Taught my heart respect for the place I came from |
| My midland’s guilt is with me all the same |
| Pray I see the day I make it home to die |
| To die |
| To die |
| Always wanted to get away |
| And you all heard my accent change |
| I regret that I wasn’t proud |
| Should have put more love into our landlocked town |
| Where some of us we didn’t vote |
| 'Cause we mostly had no hope for change |
| Well, I suppose, we probably thought that we would just remain |
| Remain |
| I hope that you’ll let me remain |
| My midland’s guilt caught my midland’s shame |
| Taught my heart respect for the place I came from |
| My midland’s guilt is with me all the same |
| Pray I see the day I make it home to die |
| To die |
| To die |
