[Verse]
Staring down the menu, but it's just a tease,
Prices soaring higher than a summer's breeze.
Fast food's a luxury, can't catch a break,
Had to turn to cooking, for my wallet's sake.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every dime and nickel, gotta make them stretch,
In a world where the cost of living won't let us catch a breath.
Inflation's a thief in the night, stealing all our wealth
Leaving us with debt and a tight financial health
[Chorus]
Scrutinizing prices, in a world that's lost,
Economists say it's fine, but they don't know the cost.
Rent's on the rise, but my paycheck stays the same,
In the end, it's just a losing game.
[Bridge]
I've learned to find joy in the little that I've got,
In the meals that I've cooked, in the battles I've fought.
But the question remains, in the light of day,
How long can we keep living this way?
[Chorus]
Counting costs, in a world that's lost,
Economists say it's fine, but they don't know the cost.
In the end its just a losing game
Staring down the menu, but it's just a tease,
Prices soaring higher than a summer's breeze.
Fast food's a luxury, can't catch a break,
Had to turn to cooking, for my wallet's sake.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every dime and nickel, gotta make them stretch,
In a world where the cost of living won't let us catch a breath.
Inflation's a thief in the night, stealing all our wealth
Leaving us with debt and a tight financial health
[Chorus]
Scrutinizing prices, in a world that's lost,
Economists say it's fine, but they don't know the cost.
Rent's on the rise, but my paycheck stays the same,
In the end, it's just a losing game.
[Bridge]
I've learned to find joy in the little that I've got,
In the meals that I've cooked, in the battles I've fought.
But the question remains, in the light of day,
How long can we keep living this way?
[Chorus]
Counting costs, in a world that's lost,
Economists say it's fine, but they don't know the cost.
In the end its just a losing game
