Besides missing the point of the original song, taking your point for granted (that rich bankers and yuppies are nice people), then what's left is even worse: that they are ignorant, or that they don't care about the rest of the people.
You can be a nice person and build tanks, but if you're a good and coherent man, you'll do something else. Also, good people don't get to be super rich brokers or international bankers. It takes a different kind of person to be that successful.
@firestartertwistedfi you seem to have missed the point. the song is about the embourgeoisment of francophone europe in the sixties and the inevitable waning of radical spirit with age and increasing investment in society
Class is interesting - it's all very well slagging off bankers or yuppies - but then what do you do when you meet one (or are related to one) and they are perfectly nice?
