Every phase of life comes with its' own version of insanity. Family guy feels pulled in all directions by everybody's needs and demands. Not to mention he has his own spirit to keep intact. There are moments when he comes apart at the seams, overloaded!

Lyrics
Someone’s always telling me what I gotta do
Someone's always yelling at me pick up my shoes,
And I can't find my way to the promised land
In the middle of the chaos family man
Cause it’s Daddy do this, honey do that
Bring home the paycheck
Keep the house warm, keep the car running
Fix all the plumbing
Where's all the fun in that?
I’m in the middle of a perfect storm
I'm in the middle and I'm feeling torn
Temperature's rising and it’s getting too warm
I'm in the middle of a perfect storm
Crazy American suburban dad
Two car garage no it ain't so bad
One day I'll run out of steam, kids all grown up
I'll wake up in a daze saying "what the ——."
Daddy do this, honey do that
Bring home the paycheck
Keep the house warm, keep the car running
Fix all the plumbing
Where's all the fun in that?
I'm in the middle of a perfect storm
I'm in the middle and I'm feeling torn
Temperature's rising and it’s getting too warm
I'm in the middle of a perfect storm
Where is the guiding star of mine?
I thought I had a plan
I'm feeling all confused
I am the family man
I'm in the middle of a perfect storm
I'm in the middle and I'm feeling torn
Temperature's rising and it’s getting too warm
I'm in the middle of a perfect storm
