The average annual income of the richest |
| [00:05.443] |
one percent is about seven hundred grand |
| [00:10.971] |
The average annual income of the poorest |
| [00:13.507] |
one percent is a couple Food Stamps and a pile of sand |
| [00:18.816] |
Smack-dab in the middle, 350 thousand, |
| [00:22.534] |
but that’s actually the top four percent |
| [00:26.396] |
Most everybody else, say, in the bottom eighty, |
| [00:29.140] |
is struggling to pay their mortgage or their rent |
| [00:34.076] |
You who say you’re in the middle, |
| [00:36.086] |
I wonder what you mean? In the middle of what and what? |
| [00:41.663] |
I’d say you’re probably full of something that |
| [00:44.168] |
hopefully will soon be coming out of your butt |
| [00:49.642] |
I could join you in your fantasy, but I think I’ll have to pass |
| [00:57.120] |
And just say welcome to the working class |
| [01:05.065] |
If you’re wondering how you might send your kids to college, |
| [01:09.159] |
if your savings is smaller than your debt |
| [01:13.029] |
If your main mode of transport is an auto or a pickup, |
| [01:17.267] |
not a helicopter or a private jet |
| [01:21.044] |
If you drive yourself to the supermarket, |
| [01:24.995] |
you know where to find the milk upon the shelf |
| [01:28.624] |
If you bring the groceries home |
| [01:30.800] |
and then you cook the food all by yourself |
| [01:36.643] |
If your idea of a night out is ordering a pizza and watching a DVD |
| [01:44.282] |
If your idea of social mobility is the fact that |
| [01:47.279] |
you have broadband and a high-definition TV |
| [01:52.201] |
You can try to convince me that you’re in the bourgeoisie |
| [01:56.155] |
or you could just stop smoking that grass |
| [02:00.481] |
Welcome to the working class |
| [02:08.194] |
Welcome Welcome to the working class |
| [02:15.880] |
If half your income’s spent on taxes, no second home on a tropic isle |
| [02:23.560] |
If flying in economy and renting a car is your notion of vacationing in style |
| [02:31.258] |
If you’ve never seen the world’s Seven Wonders |
| [02:34.938] |
and you think you probably never will |
| [02:38.728] |
Because you only get two weeks holiday each year |
| [02:42.759] |
and you just don’t have the time to kill |
| [02:46.510] |
If you think because you’ve got a job |
| [02:49.631] |
and you have a roof over your heads |
| [02:54.148] |
That you’ve attained such privilege because |
| [02:58.004] |
your kids can sleep in separate beds |
| [03:01.866] |
But you can’t afford the rest home for your parents |
| [03:05.486] |
and it’s you whose gotta wipe their asses |
| [03:09.581] |
Well then welcome to the working class |
| [03:17.474] |
Welcome Welcome to the working class |
