Cost of Living

[supremeedible]

I think this lyric is quite sure to be untouched by burglars...

Gooey Caramel Centaur

O Lord, again I stumble to
Your feet to ask a favour:
How greatly I depend on You
A thousand times my saviour!
But Lord, may I not treat You as
A granter of my wishes
You called us to be working hands
Your harvesters and fishers

No thing I long for more than to
Be given the faith to answer
Lord, give me eyes alone for You
That I may follow after
And help me more to understand
The love You showed in giving
Your very self to murd'rous hands
To pay the cost of living

Cost of Living
(c)2009 Pathetic Wannabees

Cost of Living
Living the cost
All my possessions
Have been tossed

Out in the street
Its not sweet
But at least I’m still
Unbowed and unbossed

[Chorus]
It's the
Coooooost
oooooof
liiiiiivin'
Givin'
me
misgivins'
Gonna put it on my credit card
Defer the cost of Livin' Large
Cost of Livin'!

A pint or 2
of precious blood
can still keep me
in the suds

5 Grand
will rid me
of an unnecessary
kidney

[Repeat Chorus]

Got no heat, no food
not a sliver
one thing to do
gotta sell my liver

So I’m turning tricks
Behind the dumpster
Sure I’m a dude,
But I’ll sell you a hump, sir.

Cost...of...living...

[Kapitano]

Verse 1:
So you
Buy a new home, just a
Place for your stuff, 'cos the
One that you grew up in
Somehow it's just not enough

And you
Buy a new car, just to
Sit at the wheel, though you
Got nowhere to go to
Just love the chrome and steel

Chorus:
Atlas
Unplugged
Always want more, 'cos
Need is the drug
Atlas
Unplugged
Want more
Need is the drug

Verse 2:
Then you
Get a new job, 'cos you
Want to fit in
Take a new direction, and
Offset the cost of living

Break:
Why play truth when you can play dare?
Why you playing chicken if you say you don't care?
Have you forgotten?

Why tell lies when you don't know the truth? You
Only take their money when you can't take their youth
Have you forgotten?

Walking home from work,
you stop at a street corner,
waiting for traffic to pass.
The lights turn red
and she struts over.
Making an offer,
making a proposition.

You earn a dollar a day
but she's asking a dollar an hour.
Do you really want to spend your money that way?
Do you really want to go hungry?

Walking to her apartment
you stop at the door,
waiting for her to go through.
Her eyes turn blank
and she pulls you in.
Making it impossible,
impossible to leave.

You earn a dollar a day
but she's asking a dollar an hour.
Do you really want to spend your money that way?
Do you really want to go hungry?

That's the price of comfort
these days

The High Cost of Living

The high cost of living with you has left me emotionally broke,
My spirit is an empty house, bank owned and foreclosed.

I guess you can not get it for free.

Prices are set for like exchange but I don’t have the need,
I did not anticipate the extent and depth of your greed.

I guess you can not get it for free,
I guess you can not get it (I guess you just can’t get it).

I know I’m in too deep but the credit wall’s too steep,
I will never be debt free, a prisoner, no receipt.

I guess you can not get it for free,
I guess you can not get it (I guess you just can’t get it).

Cost Of Living - Paco del Stinko

The cost of living is much too high
Because without you baby I'd rather die
I can't afford to live with nothing left to give
While you're not mine and you're still his

I pay the price - When I say goodbye

The frost of sinning burns your mind
To be with me baby feels like a crime
You can't afford to die with me by your side
And while I'm crying you never tried

I pay the price - When I say goodbye

When you first came to me, on a beam of the sun (the sun)
I knew what you'd mean to me, and what had begun

I must be mad but I thought I had something good
Then I fell flat I hit the mat like dead wood
I was a dope I had found hope to give love
End of the rope I felt the choke real tough
and I got a big shove

Falling, falling down after I already fell (down down down)
Calling your name as I drown at the black bottom of the well

It is so cold I feel so old without you
I must have been sold tackled and rolled until blue
I felt so bold until I was told we were through
and there's nothing I can do

Cost of Living - the Hinsdale Patent

She wake in the morning with a cough
with a smile so wide it eats every thought he had
Some people live and never talk
some never even ask without having the answer
She keep her toes in at the line, keeping her shoes shined
keep breathing diesel exhaust
And she pushed through it all

Something different happened
Things just went her way
She just keeps on smiling today

She buy her monthly metrocard
the mile walk to the train ain't such a hassle
Cost of living at the time, being sublime
living in their distant castle
Business luncheon one to 3, fleeing gravity
seems to me the sky's the limit
And she cares for us all

Something different happened
Things just go her way
She's glad that she stuck with it today

She just likes it.

Wow these are a bit drepressing :O
sorry guys

The Cost Of Living

We're always living for, the ones we left behind,
but if you let yourself, belive that you can find a reason,
you end up suffering, for all those unpaid sins,
and if we keep it together, surely there's a way out tell me,


the price we end up paying, it is worth the cost of living
in this world, when you can't turn your back on,
the fact you'll never change a thing,
when it's too late to go back
to the past, so make this story last,

so if you make it through, the lies, the violence, the heartbreak,
then you'll just find yourself alone, broken down, cold to the bone,
and if there is an afterlife, you just won't measure up so,
it off to hell with your spirit, never thought that it would come to this

Cost of Living
by Berkeley Social Scene

The time has come to settle up
Finish your drink and put down the cup
You're not the only one with bills to pay
Get out your umbrella it's your rainy day

Just name your price
How far are you willing to go
To front the cost of living
The life you're waiting for

Place a coin beneath your tongue
If you die when you are young
You'll settle it up but oh what a waste
Spend it now before you're erased

Just name your price
How far are you willing to go
To front the cost of living
The life you're waiting for

[Bridge / Glock / Solo 1]
[Double time Bridge / Solo 2]

Just name your price
How far are you willing to go
To front the cost of living
The life you're waiting for

Just name your price
How far are you willing to go
To front the cost of living
The life you're waiting for
