| Song | Alienation's For The Rich |
| Artist | They Might Be Giants |
| Album | Then: The Earlier Years |
| 作词 : Flansburgh, Linnell | |
| Vocal：John Flansburgh | |
| 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 | |
| Notes | |
