V1-
Is there hope for the hopeless?
Penny for your thoughts, a home for the homeless? (Higher Costs)
And they made you a promise...
Work every day and you get what you wanted (At A Loss)
Heavy weight on your conscience
Put it on a credit, borrow in, get your interest (Higher Costs)
Make it a sin to be honest,
Your pockets well thin,
where your wins gets your losses?? (At A Loss)
Pre-Chorus -
You can't save it away (Wha ya want?)
You can't take it to your grave (Wha ya want?)
Still them want you work like a slave,
tryin' to save up for rainy day
CHORUS -
Higher cost
You at a loss
Higher cost
You at a loss
V2-
You in debt, death and taxes
Follow you to your grave,
put a lean against your casket (Higher Costs)
When you slide in your plastic
They'll charge you a fee for the money that you access (At A Loss)
'Dem a starve out the masses
Pickney can't eat so we'll......the baskets (Higher Costs)
Drop a dollar in the basket
In God you trust that the stock market crashes
Pre-Chorus2 -
You can't save it away (Wha ya want?)
You can't take it to your grave (Wha ya want?)
Still them want you work like a slave,
tryin' to save up for rainy day
CHORUS2 -
Higher cost
You at a loss
Higher cost
You at a loss
