| "Upper Working Class" | |
| I got a house and a car, but I don't have no cash don't go joydrivin' around, I can't afford the gas go to the discount store and not the movie show I stay at home and listen to the radio set my sights on the time when the last will be first and the first will be last I keep saying someday this is all going to pass I'm a dues-paying member of the upper working class Come payday I got just enough to barely get by but the man on meet the press says my wages are too high I've been outsourced again, I know it's a sin I ain't felt secure since I don't know when and he whips out his saw when he sees me out on a limb I guess I hooked me a carp when I went fishing for bass edge-of-the cliff, working stiff upper working class I don't take vacations, I got no time for this I got no time to cry, that's just the way it is I keep hoping the sun will shine on me, I keep pinning my hopes on the lottery trying to stay afloat when they've sold my boat again so broke I can't pay attention to the corporate sass end of my rope, living on hope, upper working class |
