(This song is dedicated to all you modern day troubadors out there.

And I think I know who you are.)

G -

I gotta get a job - I got to get some pay

C -

my son's gotta go to art school, he's leaving in three days

G -

and the TV is in Esperanto - you know that that's a bitch

Am C / D G

because alienation's for the rich and I'm feelin' poorer every day

G

a hey hey hey

2.

Well I ain't feeling happy about the state of things in my life

but I'm working to make it better with a six of Miller High Life

just drinking and a-drivin', makin' sure my dues get paid

because alienation's for the rich and I'm feelin' poorer every day

a hey hey hey

(Instrumental; play G and lead in to last verse on an E chord)
