    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)

 Well I ain't feeling happy about the state of things in my life

        A                              -
