We Are All Bourgeois Now Lyrics

    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 would 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
    We're all free to choose
    We're free to choose

    In booming Britain we all work together
    To raise ourselves in the world
    Each of us knows 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 in the world

    I'm free to choose
    We're all free to choose
    We're all free to choose
    I'm free to choose

    We're all bourgeois now
    We're all bourgeois now
    We're bourgeois now
