Текст пісні
We are earning twice as little
When we're working twice as hard
For the things we're yearning to own
We don't really need so much
Concerned about your bank account
On no account have no amount
Is this the cost of living?
Is this the price we pay?
Spending energy on nothing
Thinking the wrong way
Is this the cost of living?
Obsessed with our own gain
Wasting energy on nothing
I think it's all insane
Focusing on the external
Bigger house, faster car
Do you define yourself by your possessions
Or the extent of who you are?
Spirits numb to the essence of being
Harmony sung but you don't hear
Truth and wisdom, the universe is calling
Oh, open your ears
Is this the cost of living?
Is this the price we pay?
Spending energy on nothing
Totally insane
Is this the cost of living?
Too high a price to pay
Destroying the place we live in
Humanity decays
Don't know what we're doing
No, I don't know, no
Don't know where we're heading
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't know what we're doing
No, I don't know, no, no
Don't know what we're doing
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
