Built around A sarcastic, sweet-sounding song that's actually a defiant rejection of everything trying to control you. Live Wire's voltage-cranked guitars carries the concept through punk-rock that rewards repeat listens. "Who color in the lines and never scream or shout" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs sarcastic, defiant. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
Goodnight to the landlord raising rent again
Goodnight to the boss who thinks we're all his friends
Goodnight to the system built on someone's back
Goodnight to the smile I wear to hide the crack
Sweet dreams to the ones who got it figured out
Who color in the lines and never scream or shout
I hope you sleep so well inside your little box
While I'm out here picking every single lock
[chorus]
This is my middle finger lullaby
Sung sweetly while I'm waving bye
A gentle melody to say
I'm doing this my own damn way
Middle finger lullaby
Sleep tight, sleep tight
[verse 2]
Goodnight to the critics with their little pens
Writing down the ways that I should make amends
Goodnight to the algorithm feeding lies
Wrapped in entertainment with a side of fries
Sweet dreams to the ones who think they've got me pegged
A profile made of data points and clickbait threads
I hope the metrics keep you warm at night
While I'm out here setting everything alight
[chorus]
This is my middle finger lullaby
Sung sweetly while I'm waving bye
A gentle melody to say
I'm doing this my own damn way
Middle finger lullaby
Sleep tight, sleep tight
[bridge]
Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop
When the wind blows your whole world will drop
And when it falls I'll be standing here
Waving goodbye without a single tear
Singing la la la la la
[chorus]
This is my middle finger lullaby
Sung sweetly while I'm waving bye
A gentle melody to say
I'm doing this my own damn way
Middle finger lullaby
Goodnight, goodnight
Middle finger lullaby
