Too many mornings
Caught me running behind time
Mondays to Fridays
It's just the same old grind
You know I think too much
And I keep losing touch
I'm chained to the working class life
God save the country
God save the Queen
And God looks after everyone
But he's got no time for me
Seems like my life is just trouble
Trouble and strife
'Cause I'm chained to the working class life
The landlord owns apartment blocks
He buys them by the score
But even if he bought this town
He'd still lust after more
Sure I know he's doing fine
But I ain't that enterprising
'Cause I'm chained to the working class life
