[Intro]
Prices, prices, yeah, they're climbing
Every evening, just surviving
Crying less, but inside, I'm dying
Tell me now, what are we buying?
[Verse 1]
Look left, look right, everything's a rip-off
Discounts on top, but prices never drop
Fooling us all with a mask, just a swap
Cent here, cent there, yeah, they never stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Are we waking up? Or are we blind?
Counting pennies, losing our minds
How high will you go? Touching the sky?
Are we just fools, or do we wanna ask why?
[Chorus]
How much higher? How much higher?
Are we climbing? Climbing?
How much higher? How much higher?
Is it real? Or just lying?
(Solo)
[Bridge]
(Climax melody—rising and soaring)
Sky-high prices, floating away
Can we catch them? Or are they just prey?
Echoes of truth in the fray
Are we living? Or just delaying?
[Verse 2]
Every sale's a lie, just a disguise
Counting coins, but inside we're despised
Promises made, yeah, they hypnotize
Can we wake up? Or are we hypnotized?
[Pre-Chorus]
Are we waking up? Or are we blind?
Counting pennies, losing our minds
How high will you go? Touching the sky?
Are we just fools, or do we wanna ask why?
[Chorus]
How much higher? How much higher?
Are we climbing? Climbing?
How much higher? How much higher?
Is it real? Or just lying?
[Outro]
Prices keep rising, do you see?
Or is it just a dream we refuse to free?
Tell me now, what do you believe?
Are we living, or just deceived?
(Solo)
