the high cost of living,
you know it's about to get me down.
I say the high cost of living,
you know it's about to get me down
I've got a job making good money,
but it just ain't enough to go around
Now things have got so rough,
even my dog left home
He stands down at the welfare office,
Barking, trying to get a bone.
High cost of living,
You know it's about to get me down.
I've got a job making good money,
But it just ain't enough to
go around.
My pantry used to be full of food,
Every morning you could smell bacon fry.
I saw a rat in my kitchen eatin' meat,
shakin' his head and cryin'
I call it living,
you know it's about breakin' it down
I've got a job makin' good money,
but it just ain't enough to go down
Sometimes it don't feel like livin'
But I guess
I'll have to try
Undertaker's got a union,
costs too much to die
I say the high cost of death,
you know it's about to get me down
I've got a job makin' good money,
but it just ain't enough to go around
you
