Whatever Happened to the Working Class?

Gotye, Kris Schroeder, Tim Heath

Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, we got politicans sitting on their arse
Widdling away at the few rights that we've got left

Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Well I was listening to the radio
And how big business stole the show
And I wonder, who's there to stop them now?
Cause it seemed to me till recent days
The working class were here to say "Enough
There's only so much we'll allow"
The workers united will never be defeated
Where now are our champions
Of common cause and great renoun?
And I wonder, in Bali or Phuket?
Bought and sold in Johnny's day
His promises were like a cape
So no could take what you can get
But is there nothing worth believing in life anymore?
You've got your cars and boats and property
But what is it all for?
Once you've fought for rights
And wrongs were never wished upon the poor
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, we got politicans sitting on their arse
Widdling away at the few rights that we've got left
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
So you put on your chisel, your oils and Js
Especially on Australia
And I wonder, your finger pointed at the sky
Is that the only point you'll ever get?
Do you realise that there's more to it
Than your tinnies, getting drunk and getting high
But is there nothing worth believing in life anymore?
You've got your cars and boats and property
But what is it all for?
Once you've fought for rights
And wrongs were never wished upon the poor
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, we've got politicians putting people last
Widdling away at the few rights we've got left
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
Oh, whatever happened to the working class?
