Lyrics:Alienation's For The Rich

From This Might Be A Wiki
Alienation's For The Rich
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1985

This song is dedicated to all you modern day troubadours out there, and I think I know who you are.

I gotta get a job I got to get some pay My son's gotta go to art school He's leavin' 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' a-poorer every day A-hey hey hey

Well I ain't feelin' happy About the state of things in my life But I'm workin' to make it better With a six of Miller High Life Just drinkin' and a-drivin' A-makin' sure my dues get paid Because alienation's for the rich And I'm feelin' a-poorer every day A-hey hey hey

Ah hahahaha!
