"Cost Of Living" lyrics

"Cost Of Living"

All you believe in is what you can hold
All you can value is something that's sold
Faithfully following the way of the world
You're on a circuit but you think it's a road

And that's the cost of living
And it's always going to be on the rise
Don't you know about the cost of living
Because it's etched around your eyes

Whatever your wages, they don't satisfy
Your hunger outgrows your piece of the pie
All of that labour has one reason why
To bring you the joy that money can buy
