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!
