Middle Class Misfortune

Early morning calls and its just another day you have to put up with
On your 13th cup of coffee you decide to have your 15th cigarette
The milkman and the bread man have an early on the go attitude
Today is only Monday with the rest of the week facing you

Yeah its middleclass misfortune
Yeah middleclass torture

Yeah daddy draws the razor across his face and it catches on his chin
It cuts a gash but still he loves the pain oh yea he loves the pain
The tie around his neck is tight enough to take his breath
He gasps as he laces up his shoes
His wife is such a wreck it kills his appetite for breakfast
All he’ll have is coffee and the news

Yeah its middleclass misfortune all the deals gone down the drain
The poor have welfare service and the rich don’t give a damn
Yeah its middle class misfortune
Gonna eat right through your brain

The floors need a scrubbin yeah it looks like you’ll have to hit your knees, Oh please
The laundry baskets piled up there’s a load of dirty dishes in your sink
Daddy’s stuck in traffic yeah the rush hours really such a jam
Gives him time to agonize about the bills and credit cards gone outta hand

Yeah its middleclass misfortune all the deals gone down the drain
The poor have welfare service and the rich don’t give a damn
Its middle class misfortune
Gonna eat right through your brain

Oh woe is me girl
