Hallalujah, I'm A Bum (Millennial Redux)
My generation is constantly broke
From the American Dream we were violently awoke
Drowning in debt and justified fear
Once in a lifetime recessions every couple of years
Hallelujah, I'm a Bum
Hallelujah, Bum again
Come and give us a handout to revive us again
You're telling me I live in the land of the free
But I'm trapped in a cage of systematic poverty
Just to survive takes all that I've got
Just so some jerk can have his 27th yacht
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Come and give us a handout to revive us again
No matter how hard I work
I make a starvation wage
So I'll be funded by the state like the wars that we wage
The most lavish of lifestyle of the most upper crust bum
Doesn't cost but a fraction of their drone striking bombs
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
No cop is a good cop
No war is ever won
I'll bleed the state for all that their worth
Cuz you've been suckin' silver spoons since the day of your birth
If the wealthy would pay even half their fair share
The rest of us might have a little health care
Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Nothing else matters but me and my friends
We've all been out of work for months and for months
They gave us $1200 and they said best of luck
But I got approved for that PUA
It's probably a bad sign it's the most I've ever made
Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah I'm a bum again
Come and give us another stimulus to stimulate us again
Well the whole worlds on fire, a big pile of shambles
So I figure it's a good time to head out and ramble
Took my hard earned unemployment and bought myself a truck
I'll live life on the road cuz I don't give a damn
Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Don't ask where I'm goin', don't ask where I'm from
The wealthy run the game, all liars and cheats
Before I sell my soul I will live on the streets
These systems and structures, they're all rigged and wrong
I'm not playin' along, I am no king's pawn
Hallelujah, I'm a Bum
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
You might have more money but I have more fun
I don't want you pity, I'm not askin' for a favor
But I want an end to exploited labor
And a deconstruction of scarcity and greed
To rebuild based on meeting everyone's needs
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Come and give us a hand out to revive us again
From the American Dream we were violently awoke
Drowning in debt and justified fear
Once in a lifetime recessions every couple of years
Hallelujah, I'm a Bum
Hallelujah, Bum again
Come and give us a handout to revive us again
You're telling me I live in the land of the free
But I'm trapped in a cage of systematic poverty
Just to survive takes all that I've got
Just so some jerk can have his 27th yacht
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Come and give us a handout to revive us again
No matter how hard I work

So I'll be funded by the state like the wars that we wage
The most lavish of lifestyle of the most upper crust bum
Doesn't cost but a fraction of their drone striking bombs
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
No cop is a good cop
No war is ever won
I'll bleed the state for all that their worth

Come and give us a hand out to revive us again
