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 will 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 x2
We're free to choose

In booming Britain, we all work together to raise ourselves in the world
Each of us know 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 through the world
I'm free to choose

We're all free to choose x2
I'm free to choose
We're all bourgeois now x2
We're bourgeois now
