Guess the 1970s song lyrics #334

1977. This song critiques the ambitions of working- and lower-middle-class New Yorkers who strive for material success as evidence of social mobility, working long hours to afford the outward signs of having "made it". The artist grew up in a section of Levitt homes in the New York area. His parents essentially moved out.
