(How to Stay) Middle-Class
Konstantin Gropper
The soft swoosh at the back of your head
You've got something to lose
The ghost that climbs the tower
You have the option to choose and falsely choose
You only want to be
What you think you should be
But yoga-steeled online-traders
They will buy your house, you'll see
Growth - Progression
Stagnation - Death
Remember that you can't really fail
At a job that you hate
Depressed at cheap hotels
Mini-bars, you embrace of late
The kids in the right school
They won't have your worries one day
Eco-car, slow food, Swedish style
You're on your way to stay
Ambition - Hope - Backbone - Wealth
Respect - Greed - Recession - Decline
Future - Vision - Status - Protection
Liberal - Precarious - Mobility - Comfort
Capital - Life
