With the American economy on the brink of a recession and the cost of every day goods such as gasoline rising by the day, millions of American families are having a difficult time getting by right now. This song expresses the frustration of rising living costs in a time of a slow economic climate.

Lyrics:

The cost of living is getting so high
Millions of people barely gettin’ by
Wages ain’t changin, constant inflation
Social security’s tapped, so you better be savin’

But after filling the tank there’s no money in the bank
So you try to invest but the stock market sank
Whoever said life is free must have been crazy
Because it ain’t cheap to feed a family
That’s the cost of living..

Ohhh where do we go…from here?
That’s the cost of living (repeat)

The cost of living is getting so high This high price for life has got me asking why?
Why are we forced to rack up so much debt?
Seems to me to be a losing bet
This vicious cycle of loans and credit cards
Keeps the public in chains and locked behind credit bars

But after filling the tank there’s no money in the bank
So you try to invest but the stock market sank
Whoever said life is free must be crazy
Because it ain’t cheap to raise a family
That’s the cost of living..

Ohhh Where do we go…from here?
That’s the cost of living (repeat)
