Cost Of Living

Roof over our heads and food on the table
Shoes on our feet and transportation
Shirt on our back and pills to swallow
Keep us alive until tomorrow
We got needs and mouths to feed
Overheads beyond our means
Debt to service on our knees
Feel our pockets getting squeezed

What's the cost of living?
The cost of living?
What's the price to stay alive?
Falling behind inflation
Economic stagnation
Paying the price to stay alive

How can we heat our homes and eat?
Trying our best to make ends meet
Can't afford our basic needs
Empty shelves and broken dreams
Nothing to save for a rainy day
Taking debt to our graves
What will be our legacy?
Grief with added interest fees!

What's the cost of living?
I'll tell ya the cost
It's the price to stay alive!
Shareholders get their dividends
Misery it never ends
We're paying the price to stay alive

We were sold by the manifesto
Promises of economic rescue
Levelling up for a better future
Smoke and mirrors just to fool ya

What's the cost of living?
The cost of living
Paying the price to stay alive
Feel our pockets getting squeezed
Living beyond our means
Paying the price to stay alive
Feel our pockets getting squeezed
Living beyond our means
Paying the price to stay alive
Paying the price
Paying the price
Paying the price to survive
