lyrics

The Dream

I saw a '53 Hudson on Route 66
Pullin' a silver Airstream
Some dents in the trailer and rust on the chrome
But they shone like a post war dream

When middle-classed folks took their middle-classed families
To the middle of a Country so grand
And everything made in the ole USA
Was formed by middle-class hands

CHORUS:
Now it seems there is no middle class anymore
Just the rich and the poor
And the left and the right
Wake up my neighbors a new march commences
From behind picket fences to the front of the picket lines

Then the car and the trailer grew small in the rearview
They shimmered with distance and heat
And like a mirage they were suddenly gone
And I was all alone on the street

Nothing but '66 reached out before me
As I cranked up the ghost of Tom Jode
With my middle class hands in the middle of the wheel
And aimed for the middle of the road

CHORUS:
Now it seems there is no middle class anymore
Just the rich and the poor
And the left and the right
Wake up my neighbors a new march commences
From behind picket fences to the front of the picket lines

BRIDGE:
Is the flag we're waving
Made In China?
Our phone support in Pakistan?
The clothes wear from
Indonesia
Stiched by a 10 year-old hand?

CHORUS:
Now it seems there is no middle class anymore
Just the rich and the poor
And the left and the right
Wake up my neighbors a new march commences
From behind picket fences to the front of the picket lines
Wake up my neighbors a new march commences
From behind picket fences to the front of the Voting Line
