• Lyrics: THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE By Maggie Baird My little boy runs in from his friends and says “Mama, are we middle class?” I take a deep breath and I look out at a star And wish that moment would pass Cause what can I say that won’t worry his soul When I think we’re about to go under We’re a long way from down but we’re just about out Then I look in those eyes full of wonder And I think Chorus: It’s no time to be Middle Class Just one mortgage payment away from Out on… our assets are gone now and We’re hanging in thin air And Middle Class just means the Middle of Nowhere And he knows Daddy’s not much fun to be around He’s always looking so worried And I guess I’ve been there myself these days Working too much and loving too hurried Well we made some mistakes climbing those rungs Thought our children deserved something better Now we’re avoiding the phone, we don’t answer the door And we’re scared just to open a letter Because … Chorus So I look at his face and I try to remember How much better we have it than some We still got some family, we still got each other We got love….We got love… And I say… It’s no time to be middle class But no one here on earth can equal what we have with cash We’re gonna fight on till we’re flying high And if the Upper class looks up They might just see us in the sky.
