In the 10th anniversary edition of Everything Must Go Nicky says, in the DVD, that the "we only want to get drunk" line was "as much a criticism as it was an observation." He also said that A Design For Life was trying to say that the working class could be beautiful, literate, intelligent etc but also destructive and a "disgrace to their class".
The line "and we are not aloud to spend" is, according to James, about the influence of consumerism on the working classes in the UK. "That fuck it mentality of, we are not allowed to [spend money], so therefore we shall", James said.
Incidentally, anyone who has seen the video for the song with the images of the Poll Tax riots in London and George Orwell quote "Hope Lies In The Proles" would know this song IS about the working classes. Drinking is mentioned in the song, but so is love. It's not a love song either. Go figure...
The people are thick lol thats why. However u sound torrish to me that is fine but I think he is remarking on people looking down on the working class and also how society has imitated the working class and how unrestrained capitalism has limited the opportunities of the working class.

Basically Nicky is criticising what would now be known as the undreclass as well as the upper class, basically I was spot on in other words, thanks a lot mate, you sound like a hardcore fan, well done.
