Song: Alienation's For The Rich (Track #17/19)
Album: They Might Be Giants


Intro: Spoken ( This song is dedicated to all you modern day troubadors out
there. And I think I know who you are. )

Verse:

I gotta   get a   job  I got to  get   some  pay  
   
My son's gotta go to art school, he's leaving in three days     
        
And the TV is in Esperanto. you  know that that's a bitch  
                                               
But 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)

Chorus 2x:

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

Outro:
