about

When the purse strings tighten around your heart...

lyrics

When it's not as it seems and the heart of the scene
Is not in the hands of the ones with the dreams
When the cutting edge doesn't cut to the bone
The middle class is where it's at

When the ones who decide what is wrong and what's right
Have made up their minds that you'll lose every fight
When the purse strings tighten around your heart
The middle class is where it's at

They can't let go of their vague ideas
And they've been in force for all these years
Now they're so afraid that you'll have your say
And you'll take their precious world away

When the cutting edge doesn't cut to the bone
The middle class is where it's at

Changes never come from above or from below
And if they come at all they'll be timid and they'll be slow

They can't let go of their vague ideas
And they've been in force for all these years
Now they're so afraid that you'll have your say
And you'll take their precious world away

When your job and your house and your clothes and your car
Define how you feel and define who you are
You'll do all that you can to be just like the rest
Because the middle class is where it's at

The middle class is where it's at
The middle class is where it's at
The middle class is where it's at
