The middle class has come to pass
With leisure time to play
The nouveau riche have found their niche
And mean to spend their pay
The fading aristocracy have all but had their day
Don't even try you can't deny
That change is on it's way
But it's still got a long way to go
|Em D |Em |Em D |Em |
|D C |D C |G |A |Am |
But take a track from off the highway streaming through the fields
Don't be too surprised as history's layers back get peeled
You'll still find families living in whatever way they must
Scratching out their lives in the squalor and the dust
In the dust
See the modern buildings rising up un glass and steel
Whilst far below the poor are sifting refuse for a meal
Temples can be modernised and plated in new gold
Whilst outside stand the beggars, the young, the maimed the old
maimed and old
Cell phone masts are bristling no matter where you are
And towns are clogging up with all the shiny brand new cars
Getting tangled up with tuk tuks and all those cows
Whilst oxen draw the water or pull the wooden ploughs
wooden ploughs
