Letra de Cost Of Living
They say there's three inevitable things, birth, death, and taxes
Have they never put on fresh socks and stood where the wet patch is?
We're all making a loss, no matter what the result of the match is
Perfection isn't a thing, even with all of the practise
They say follow your dreams, so I'm gonna stay in bed
The inflated price of getting up is a pint of milk and some eggs
They say less is more, and sometimes it really is
But the same doesn't apply to people trying to feed their kids

Yes, you can have my Netflix password
And yes, you can borrow my car
If you feel it, then say it
If you like it, then play it
But be exactly who you are

The cost of living
The cost of living
When you're down and they're still kicking
If they're taking, I'm not giving

The cost of living
The cost of living
If I could start from the beginning
I'd do it one more time with feeling
The cost of living

I've been told that blood is thicker than water, as a response to my tears
I see my friends on the weekend who lend a shoulder or an ear
And they're always there when I need them, and I feel fully believed in
But I've not seen or heard from my dad in like three years
They say work hard and play hard
I say do both in moderation
Doctors and nurses don't actually owe us anything
Try to be better patients
And try and have more patience
And realise the world isn't sat there waiting for you

Yes, you can have my Netflix password
And yes, you can borrow my car
If you did it, then own it
If you're angry, then show it
But be exactly who you are

The cost of living
The cost of living
When you're down and they're still kicking
If they're taking, I'm not giving

The cost of living
The cost of living
If I could start from the beginning
I'd do it one more time with feeling

Always look both ways when you cross the road
Well, they got that one right
Whoever made that up, you probably saved a lot of lives
Looking directly at the sun is probably gonna hurt your eyes
And whoever worked that out, well, that's some pretty sound advice

The cost of living
The cost of living
When you're down and they're still kicking
If they're taking, I'm not giving

The cost of living
The cost of living
If I could start from the beginning
I'd do it one more time with feeling
The cost of living
