Dean Friedman - Marginal Middle Class [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

By Dean Friedman

I wanna have a big backyard
I wanna have a mailbox and swings
I wanna have a welcome mat and a porcelain cat
And a doorbell that rings
I wanna have a burglar alarm
To keep my family from harm

I wanna be Marginal Middle Class
I wanna be Respectable Middle Class
I wanna hire a kid to cut the grass
I wanna be Marginal Middle Class

I wanna join the local lodge
I wanna have a two car garage
I wanna do a high school play with the P.T.A
I wanna have a new Dodge
I wanna have a steady job
I wanna eat corn on the cob

I wanna be Marginal Middle Class
I wanna be Respectable Middle Class
I wanna hedge my bets, I wanna cover my ass
I wanna be Marginal Middle Class

I don't wanna have a lot of dough
I just wanna be your average Joe
I wanna have just enough to see an occasional Broadway show

I wanna have a swimming pool
I wanna have a couple of kids
I wanna have a motorbike and a dog named Mike
And two guinea pigs
I wanna have a library card
I don't wanna have to work too hard

I wanna be "Honey, can we eat out tonight ?" Middle Class
I wanna be "Daddy, Roger punched me on the nose." Middle Class
I wanna live right near the overpass
I wanna be Marginal Middle Class
I wanna be Marginal Middle Class
