Cost Of Living

The world is getting hotter

And the ocean's at my door

Spent 6 bucks on a capsicum

At my local store

Bills are going up

And rent ain't getting cheaper

Protesting to politicians

Ain't getting us diddly squat eh?

I can't afford

Cost of living!

I can't afford

Cost of living!

I'm counting coins out on the counter

Just to afford dinner

While Coles and Woolworths they

Take the bloody piss

But that's a problem

I don't have the time to contemplate

I've just gotta find a way

To put dinner on my plater

I can't afford

Cost of living!

I can't afford

Cost of living!

My Telstra bill is $140 a month

My recent electricity bill was over $400

Which is some kind of fresh bullshit

Gas, power, water, it's all fucked

I picked up some extra shifts at work

To cover my bills

Before realising I had to fill my car to get there

$2.20 a litre

This is absolute extortion

I read somewhere

That the richest Australians

Are making a billion an hour

And I can't eat because my rent just went up

And it's getting more and more expensive... ranting

I can't afford

Cost of living!

Cost of living!

Cost of living!
