We Are All Bourgeois Now - McCarthy

There’s something wrong somewhere here

So through unclean streets

I made my way

With holes in my shoes and my children asleep at my feet

I paid my way

In every town on the way

The people looked grey, the buildings looked healthy

But one day I met a man

With money to spare

He said he will tell me how it is

The state he began has been propping up people too long

For far too long

We all got lazy and couldn’t be bothered to make our way through the world

But we are all bourgeois now

Once there was class war

But not any longer because baby we are all bourgeois now

So go out and make your way in the world

We’re free to choose

We’re all free to choose x2

We’re free to choose

In booming Britain, we all work together to raise ourselves in the world

Each of us know someone who has done well for themselves

So well for themselves

«Thank you» I said as I left

I’ll be on my way

I see how it is

We are all bourgeois now and somehow I’ll raise myself through the world

I’m free to choose

We’re all free to choose x2

I’m free to choose

We’re all bourgeois now x2

We’re bourgeois now
