"there are fewer more distressing sights than that of an englishman in a baseball cap yeah we'll die in the class we were born that's a class of our own my love we're in a class of our own my love"

That bits about chavs, how upper/middle class kids act like the lower classes yet he's saying that no matter how you try to hide your identity, you'll die in the class you were born, if you're middle class you'll always be middle class.

The ironic thing is, Pete is from a middle class, somewhat wealthy family yet he acts like one of these working class "from the streets" type people.
