#1.
I g[G]otta get a job - I g[-]ot to get some pay
my s[C]on's gotta go to art school, he's l[-]eaving in three days
and the [G]TV is in Esperanto - you kn[-]ow that that's a bitch
because [Am]alienation's for the rich and I[C]'m feelin' p[D]oorer every d[G]ay
a hey hey h[G]ey
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)
2a.
Well [A]I ain't feeling happy about the st[-]ate of things in my life
but I'm w[D]orking to make it better with a s[-]ix of Miller High Life
just dr[A]inking and a-drivin', makin' su[-]re my dues get paid
because [Bm]alienation's for the rich and I[D]'m feelin' po[E]orer every d[A]ay
a hey hey h[A]ey
-E.M.
[aid]because alienation's for the rich and I'm feelin poorer every day
a hey hey hey
