lyrics

The cost of living
The cost of living
When the cost of living's too high
Guess it's cheaper to die

Bills are increasing
And so's the tax
Did we ever recover
From the financial crash?
Transfer of wealth
Or so they say
Guess the rich are getting richer
And it's the poor that pay

10 years of Tory Britain and it's great
We've got loads of food banks now and that's just great
100,000 dead from Covid and it's great
But the PM does his best and that's just great
At least that's what he says in PMQ's
He's a known lier
But why would he lie to the likes of me and you
With Parliamentary privilege
The lies will never stop
There's no mishconduct
When you're top dog

Cheese and red wine
Business meeting at mine
Gave the police a bribe
Just don't leave at the same time

The cost of living
The cost of living
When the cost of living's too high
Guess it's cheaper to die

The cost of living
The cost of living
When the cost of living's too high
Guess it's cheaper to die

Printing money
Helps the cogs go round
Is it any wonder
The strength of the pound goes down?
Now all I hear is record profits
But everything costs more
Guess the richer are getting richer
And I earn less than what I earned before
When you're trapped in a system that's flawed from the start
Gotta play the game cause it's you're only chance
There's no escaping a tactical vote
When elections are decided
By first past the post

Cheese and red wine
Business meeting at mine
Gave the police a bribe
Just don't leave at the same time

The cost of living
The cost of living
When the cost of living's too high
Guess it's cheaper to die

The cost of living
The cost of living
When the cost of living's too high
Guess it's cheaper to die
