How’s it going mate,
I bet you feel the pain...
As the cost of living rises,
With reserve bank once again...
They’re squeezing us harder,
As we try to make ends meet...
If those rates keep on climbing,
We’ll be in a tent out on the street...
The true Aussie battlers,
Have taken another hit...
With Christmas time coming...
We’ll all be in the shit...
I’ve swapped Ham for Devon,
Started making some home brew...
The Christmas tree looks bare...
Those presents will be few...
Yes that bloody Grinch,
Has arrived here once more...
To cause chaos and carnage,
To all the wealthy poor ...
Because try as you might,
You just can't save enough...
That dream house is fading,
Since the banks have called our bluff....
This cycle of greed is growing,
Which apparently all our fault...
We're spending way too much,
This simply has to halt...
What worked in the past,
Won't make a difference here right now...
As our way of life has changed,
Which the reserve bank won't allow...
If they're worried about us spending,
The solution is not hard...
Restrict the amount we can borrow,
On that good old credit card...
