lyrics

Born with a shovel in hand
Told to dig to succeed
We all want our troubles to be taken away
When you're becoming bourgeoisie

Dark brew to keep us up
Blue pills to put us asleep
Physicians prescribe many a-names
When you're becoming bourgeoisie

50 weeks on land
2 spent out on sea
X-ing out days to get taken away
When you're becoming bourgeoisie

I've waited a lifetime
Waited a lifetime to own my property
Half of a century
Half of a century to slice off my private piece

We used to tumble through dusty times
Now we complain about the price of things
Ain't it funny how age makes most lean right
When you're becoming bourgeoisie
