Alienation's for the Rich (rhythm section instrumental) Songtext
von They Might Be Giants

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!

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
A-hey hey hey
A-hey hey hey
Ah hahahahahahaha!
