Hallalujah, I'm A Bum (Millennial Redux) Lyrics

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
