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
