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)
