    Middle Class

    Seems like from day one
    I've learned adult life is a struggle
    No lazy days in the sun
    So here's the pin to your bubble

    It used to be games and fun
    We always used to get in trouble
    Now its financial, son
    Ramifications are doubled

    Rape the innocence out of me
    Born as slaves, we were never free
    Behold the lies and trickery
    This ain't the way our life should be

    Trapped in a 9 by 5 cage
    A life spent chasing pendulums
    What's the point of having rights
    If we don't fight, die defending em?

    There is no truth in the news
    Another tool of mass control
    To keep us stupid and senseless
    While they're selling us all

    Rape the innocence out of me
    Born as slaves, we were never free
    Behold the lies and trickery
    This ain't the way our life should be

    This is so sad; You are a wonderful writer, but I feel sad if this is truly how you feel! I've always thought the middle class blue collar people were noble and real, with strong shoulders; I mean, the weight of the world is balanced on the shoulders of the middle class...yet I have such wonderful memories of being happy with the little things in life,the less expensive things, because my parents were perpetually broke....broke, but not broken...that is the difference!
