A Working Class Lad
Navigating Class Struggles: The Melodic Tale of A Working Class Lad by The Battery Farm
Lyrics
I'm a working class lad
Identifying as someone from the working class
With a working class dad
Having a father who also belongs to the working class
I've been working class had
Experiencing the challenges associated with being working class
Now I'm working class sad
Feeling sad or unhappy about being part of the working class
Never working class bad
Not engaging in behaviors considered negative for the working class
Only working class glad
Being content or happy despite belonging to the working class
Am I working class fad
Questioning if being working class is just a passing trend
Who judges? Who judges?
Raising the question of who holds the authority to judge
I'm a middle class bum
Describing oneself as someone with middle-class attributes
With a middle class mum
Having a mother who belongs to the middle class
Hear the satisfied hum
Noticing the contentment or satisfaction associated with middle-class life
Of middle class fun
Enjoying the leisure and enjoyment characteristic of the middle class
And the drum drum drum
Perhaps symbolizing the repetitive nature of middle-class routines
Of middle class glum
Feeling a sense of sadness or dissatisfaction within the middle-class lifestyle
Relentless on the middle class cranium
Expressing the pressure or weight on the mind within the middle-class society
I'm a middle class bum
Reiterating the identification as middle class
With a middle class mum
Having a mother who is part of the middle class, repeating the earlier line
Who says that's OK?
Questioning the acceptance of being middle class
Who can say?
Pondering who has the authority to define what's acceptable in class identity
I'm a working class lad
Reiterating the identification as working class
With a working class Dad
Having a father who also belongs to the working class, repeating the earlier line
I've been working class had
Re-experiencing the challenges associated with being working class, repeating an earlier line
Now I'm working class sad
Continuing to feel unhappy about being part of the working class, repeating an earlier line
I'm a working class lad
Reiterating the identification as working class
I'm a middle class lad
Conflicting or dual identification as both working class and middle class
