The Cost of Living Version |
| In this free country |
| Where nothing is free |
| The cost of living is-a killing me |
| (Murder murder murder) |
| First thing everybody working and serves in the dirt |
| And the worst thing’s we’re tightening our purse strings |
| All smiles on the surface we’re tired and they’ve cursed us |
| Wild like a lion but confined to the circus |
| Sisters and my brothers |
| Those who stand above us plan to ruckus |
| 50 million sufferers in 33 boroughs |
| Taxing us for labour and then claiming that they love us |
| Rage I feel the pain of minimum wage is snakes and ladders |
| But the aim of the game is to |
| Stay sane (stay sane) |
| Get paid (get paid) |
| And again (and again) |
| And again smuggle all my hopes and dreams in the drain |
| And my name ain’t bill murray but I feel I’m living in a groundhog day |
| Money money money makes the world okay |
| But it’s funny because I don’t know if I feel that way |
| — one fan’s better? |
| — though i don’t want to set up? |
| — lieing in a jungle? |
| — a pirahna getting wetter? |
| Struggling to keep from slipping down down down |
| And all around they whisper and they sound sound sound |
| I’m hit |
| I hear you feel me but i know your daily struggle |
| Cos i watch it from my window and regret |
| As i hear the cries of murder murder murder |
| Lions on a murder murder murder |
| Killing me |
| Killing me |
| The cost of living is-a killing me |
| (murder murder murder) |
| All i really need |
| Is enough to get by |
| I never had the want for anything more |
| You can call me a fool |
| But your way is too cruel |
| And i won’t be falling in line |
| Ooo |
| Smiles on the surface |
| We’re tired and they’ve cursed us |
| Wild like a lion but confined to the circus |
