They Might Be Giants - Alienation's For The Rich Lyrics






This song is dedicated to all you modern-day troubadors out there
And I think I know who you are

I got to get a job
Got to get some pay
My son's gotta go to art school
He's leaving in three days
And the TV's in Esperanto*
You know that that's a bitch
But alienation's for the rich
And I'm feeling poorer every day
Hey hey hey

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-driving
Making sure my dues get paid
Because alienation's for the rich
And I'm feeling poorer every day
Hey hey hey

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-driving
Making sure my dues get paid
Because alienation's for the rich
And I'm feeling poorer every day
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

    This song speaks so much to who I imagine I'd be in my 30's. Here I am, shameless, human, and closer than ever to being a rock singer than I may ever be. Putting in the work requires commitment devices and "courage", but... knowing the kind of waves you've made since then, I think that I can also live a life that extends beyond myself. So, thanks.

    @ween I would love to hear you play this one day!

    Somehow Flans's laugh sounds like Santa Claus...

    C.... ....

    If that's your idea of what Santa sounds like he must be closer to Santa CLAWS than Claus. That laugh is terrifying!

    Someday, if there ever is enough alcohol in the world to get me to do karaoke, I will belt out this song at the top of my lungs.

    L.... M....

    It would be a rouser!

    L.... M....

    Are you kidding? It made me so happy!

    TMBG, I love you guys I really do, but please never ever ever ever post 50 millions videos all at once. It does horrible things to our subscription feeds :/
