I heard this song was about his dad beating them. I took it to mean his dad was also starting fights with the kids and
It's Too High To Get Over (Yeah, Yeah)
Too Low To Get Under (Yeah, Yeah)
You're Stuck In The Middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And The Pain Is Thunder (Yeah, Yeah)
might have been Michael being stuck as a middle child and not being old enough yet or young enough to escape the thunderously painful beatings.
You're A Vegetable, You're A Vegetable
Still They Hate You, You're A Vegetable
You're Just A Buffet, You're A Vegetable
They Eat Off Of You, You're A Vegetable
Those lyrics could be the way the kids viewed their abusive dad, as a compassionless, inhumane psychotic who was no good for giving or receiving love from his children, only good enough to provide food on the table.
If You Cant Feed Your Baby (Yeah, Yeah)
Then Don't Have A Baby (Yeah, Yeah)
And Don't Think Maybe (Yeah, Yeah)
If You Can't Feed Your Baby (Yeah, Yeah)
You'll Be Always Tryin'
To Stop That Child From Cryin'
Hustlin', Stealin', Lyin'
Now Baby's Slowly Dyin'
Just maybe shows Michael thought you shouldn't have kids if you can't take care of them.
Lift Your Head Up High
And Scream Out To The World
I Know I Am Someone
And Let The Truth Unfurl
No One Can Hurt You Now
Shows Michael finally escaped the physical abuse, but we all know the emotional abuse was harder to get away from.
