Red Barchetta
"My Uncle Has a country place
No one knows about" implying his family or at least his extended family is well off.
lol, you realize that the latter is set a few hundred years in the future, and is not autobiographical?

Teen boys certainly can have an affinity to those things, I did at one time, but I also came from the suburbs and my family was middle class. Those lines in that song do not strike me as a poor family or even middle class family in desperation.
None of them came from wealth; they were all three born into middle-class families. And their lyrics, written by Neil Peart, do often espouse libertarian views, but that hardly means that 1) their oeuvre has an agenda pushing upper-class concerns, or 2) your interpretation of a couple of isolated lines is apt.
You might want to learn a little bit before opining. You're not doing yourself any favors.
I am aware it was not autobiographical.
"He said it use to be a farm
Before the motor law"
You keep a large parcel of land in the family over long periods you can make money off of it or sell it at a huge profit. I looked at the tiny town house I grew up in, even that. My parents bought it for a mere 30k back in the 60s. My mom sold it for 90k in the 90s. Looked it up on google a few months ago and it sold in 2015 for over 350,000.
The song is about a middle class teen finding escape through a hobby. Really no different than how ABBA songs appeal to teens wanting to escape by dancing or dreaming of dating.
