Have you ever wondered how the cost of things go up in price
And why you're paying more than twice what your parents paid for things you both liked
Have you ever thought that there's a man behind the curtain who controls the hike
And then he gives you some flimsy reason that seems so contrite and we all know isn't right

It's just Inflation, Inflation, Inflation, Affects us all, Inflation, The prices never fall

The cost of living always rises, And we keep giving although we despise this
The deck is stacked, against us, So don't talk smack, It'll cost us
We're taught to trust, in them, We told to do what we're told

Inflation, Inflation

Why can't things just stay the way they are,
Every time we score, it costs us more and more and more
Our cost of living just seems to soar
Inflation seems to set the pace
It seems to rise with every raise in pay
It sets the price of the cost of life today
Consider the Caveman in his day
Who survived a different way
He didn't have Inflation
