lyrics

I remember you telling my sister
When she was 16
That she needs to think about others
And how they're feeling
That there’s more going on around her;
That other people struggle too
But I think somewhere along the way
You forgot your own advice

I may not know much about taxes
But I know there's more empty houses than there are people who need it
I may not know much about saving money
But I’m already making my own coffee

I'm glad your life is easier now
You've worked hard and you deserve it
But everyone deserves that luxury
Everyone deserves necessities
Don’t you think it needs to change?
Shouldn’t it be easier
Everyone works hard
But we don’t all get paid the same

I may not know much about taxes
But I know there's more empty houses than there are people who need it
I may not know much about saving money
But I’m already making my own coffee

Having to space out our breakdowns for ten free sessions a year
I'd be okay never affording my own home
If it meant I could afford treatment
We’ve been sold so many things over the years
But you're not selling me on this
You're not selling me on this

I may not own my own business
But my labour is fueling your wealth
