Dreams Of A Working Class Clown

You walk the streets alone
Yeah and you flash your smile
They judge you up by your clothes
You haven't slept in a while
So your leaving town
Can't say why, you're leaving town
Don't know why, you even stuck around
Dreams of the working class
Dreams of a working class
Dreams of a working class clown
You go to visit your folks
They sit around the table and everybody laughs
Your sister steals all your smokes
And jokes and says you were always down
So you're leaving town
Can't say why, you're leaving town
Don't know why, you even hung around
Dreams of the working class
Dreams of a working class
Dreams of a working class clown
And all it does is rain
You see it through the window of your job
And everything is so lame
You don't have much to worry about
So you're leaving town
Can't say why, when you're leaving town
Don't know why, you even hung around
Dreams of the working class
Dreams of a working class
Dreams of the working class
Dreams of the working class
