(This song is dedicated to all you modern day troubadors out there. And I think I know who you are.)
1. 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
