MIDDLE CLASS LIFE Bob and Jane’s two year old machine Rolls them up that hill Carrying two point four kids on their way to school Bob’s job ties him to his debt, one can’t live without the other Faith in six same numbers in the same boat as his brother
Can’t remember the last time he smiled Or danced the light fandango Drowning his sorrows with a four pack Picked up on his way home from work
And it’s work to live not live to work In the middle class life Telling risqué jokes and smoking discount smokes In the middle class life
He spends evenings on the internet Relations falling to neglect No sex for weeks they hardly speak Lost in chat room conversations They stay together for the kids That seems to be all that life is Justifying all they have And ignoring all they haven’t
They discuss drunk politics And put the world to rights on a Friday night Going over old adventures ten years later Cos you don’t have the time now
And it’s work to live not live to work In the middle class life Telling risqué jokes and smoking discount smokes In the end you don’t know what feels right
It’s tiring being alone watching those kids from broken homes And tuning into day time tv Trying to solve the ills of society
