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


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