about

Recorded on DAT recorder at my Pasir Ris home. Managed to get my boys Wesley and Zachary to sing at the beginning - for fun! Amazed when radio starting playing this. The good old days!

lyrics

People complain that things have got too dear
People grumble cos no one wants to hear

At the coffee shop, it's the same old talk
Prices going up and it's everybody's else's fault


Now it's so hard to buy a brand new car
Unless you're a millionaire or a TV star

COE or simply B-R-O-K-E!

SBS or MRT's the only way it's gonna be



How can we cope with the high cost of living
Why do they take when they should all be giving

The spirit is weak and the flesh sure isn't willing

How do you cope with the high cost of living


Look around you, this land of milk and honey
If you wanna get ahead, you need a whole lot of money
Courtesy or decency won't get you anywhere
It's a Faustian bargain, but you don't care

From the time you're born till the moment of death

You'll be paying the dues with your every breath
It's a fact of life as real as today

The more you pay, the more you have to pay!
