But the Wages lyrics

Although many content

You may find hope ascend

To mark just how everything changes

Whether the temperature highs

Or the sea level rising

It's all going up but the wages

And murdered reporters

And talk about hard borders

Skybound as a heavenly choir

Or the stock price in Boeing

The screams of the dying

Or the skies over Yemen last night

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

Don't mention the rent

Or the money that's spent

Keeping the banks in good health

Or ridiculous claims

Or the level of blame

Pointed to anything else

And preachy musicians

And those stuck in prison

With scarcely enough for a blunt

Or the pressure of blood

That new hotel in the hood

With and oligarch's name on the front

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

It's all going up with the bump

In the heating bills

Even though the city's on fire

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time

It's all going up with the bump

In the heating bills

Even though the city's on fire

It's all going up but the wages, and maybe it's time
