Middle Man

no_apologiesGotta vent out more angst and frustration I've been having... I've been waiting, hoping, praying--rinse and repeat, for months. I'm sure the next 5 days within this 10 day more waiting period will fly by, until I gotta wait to hear back about the intake records from the Linda Kelly shelter about my sweeties. The intake records are supposed to be public. And these damn people are like, "You're going to have to apply pressure to make us give you that information, sorry."
I never wanted it to come to this.
I seethe as I'm being made to wait longer than necessary to know ANY leads as to where Sam, Pumpkin, and Xena could be. With already strained patience.
I don't want to have anything to do with using any government "services". I hate them. I hate how mandatory all that shit is. This incompetence that has mostly irritated me. Fuck their stupid strict rules, and their hoops to jump through. To hell with these blockheads.
(Mood: Irritation. Frustration. Zero tolerance for bureaucracy. Genre: Industrial and Heavy Emo/Screamo Rock fusion. Slow tempo. As usual, I know the members of this amazing band will put in their all for me. Because they understand what I'm going through, and they're an important part of my support team.)
[Verse 1]
Your presence of a third party,
Are crony gatekeepers.
Your strict process agitates me.
You've caused me stress,
Further irritation
And further strained patience
I have to navigate,
Find a way,
Around these roadblocks
This is such a pain,
As I face,
Bureaucratic locks
FUCK!! Bureaucracy. FUCK!! Statism.
FUCK this aggravating, evil system.
Corrupt from top to bottom
Morally bankrupt mechanism
I've researched and spoke out
Over many concerning issues
I've done many songs about
What humanity needs to pursue
[spoken]
"The honest truth, to bury the lies they believe, and to choose non-aggression over state-backed oppression..."
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been personally affected
I keep getting frustrated
I just want it to end
Peace and stability
No more brutal reality
I need the pain to end
[Chorus]
I don't want your middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need your middle man.
Not today!
Nor the next or the next OR THE NEXT!!
I don't want your middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need your middle man
Not today!
Nor the next or the next OR THE NEXT!!
[Verse 2]
I need a pair of scissors,
Or a knife. Maybe pliers.
Let me at that red taaaaape!
It should have never been there.
If these people truly cared,
It wouldn't be this waaaaay!
(Why must it be this way?)
These tools,
They don't make time,
To let me be heard.
These fools,
Turning me away.
They care not for words!
FUCK!! Bureaucracy. FUCK!! Statism
FUCK their inhumane and vile system.
Corrupt from top to bottom.
Morally bankrupt mechanism.
Honesty, civility,
They don't exist.
Lacking voluntary interactions
I see no signs of business ethics
Just indifference
And incompetence
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been personally affected
I keep getting frustrated
I just want it to end
Peace and stability
No more brutal reality
I need the pain to end
[Chorus]
I don't want you, middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need you, middle man.
Not today!
Nor the next or the next OR THE NEXT!!
I don't want you, middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need you, middle man
Not today!
Nor the next or the next OR THE NEXT!!
[instrumental]
[Bridge]
I need those intake records
Just give them to me
I need those intake records
Let me have them
Why block me off?
I'm not doing anything wrong
Why block me off?
I don't deserve it.
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want it to end...
Peace and stability,
No more brutal reality.
I need the pain to ennnnnnd--
[Chorus]
I don't want you, middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need you, middle man.
Not today!
Nor the next or the next OR THE NEXT!!
I don't want you, middle man.
Get out of my way.
I don't need you, middle man
Not today!
[Outro]
Gooooo awaaaaay!!!
Gooooo awaaaaay!!!
GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!!
GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!!
AHHHHHH!!!!!
This turned out great. I like how Fritz noticed that there's some vulnerability in the lyrics, not just anger and frustration. This delivery really works, and I think the cover art Chat GPT helped me to come up with is a really good visual companion to go with this song.

Date: 2025-12-18 05:48 am (UTC)Yeah, I've unfortunately had to put up with bureaucratic bullshit... Those intake records I need to track down the kitties I miss so much are supposed to be public. The incompetence and unnecessary roadblock and waiting has been really making me angry, frustrated, and stressed. Yeah, I've been emotionally releasing a lot through the music recently.
I'm really glad that this song resonates with you.
