"Midland's Guilt" lyrics

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
