Inflation — In economics, inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.

[1] The term "inflation" once referred to increases in the money supply (monetary inflation); however, economic debates about the relationship between money supply and price levels have led to its primary use today in describing price inflation.

[2] Inflation can also be described as a decline in the real value of money—a loss of purchasing power in the medium of exchange which is also the monetary unit of account.

[3] When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, which is the percentage change in a price index over time

We are Spirits in the Material World

There is no political solution, To our troubled evolution, Have no faith in the constitution, There is no bloody revolution, 

We are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, 

Our so-called leaders speak, With words they try to jail you, The subjugate the meek, But it's the rhetoric of failure, 

We are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?, Living from day to day, If it's something we can't buy, There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world, Are spirits in the material world
