We Are All Bourgeois Now

We Are All Bourgeois Now - Manic Street Preachers

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 will 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 know 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

Through 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
