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
