Things get broken
Houses need repair
How can we manage
The money isn’t there
Debts are calling
They never wait for long
There’s nothing left to give
The moneys all but gone
Even with basic living
Costs are incurred
I’ll sort you out tomorrow
All I have today is my word
Prices are rising
Spirits falling fast
Wallets all are empty
The money doesn’t last
No clouds with silver linings
Times are hard all around
There’s no chance of a holiday
We have a weak and feeble pound
It’s hard not to choke
When your paying through the nose
With a very impulse decision
Your obligation grows
Things get broken
Hope, heart and mind
There is no quick fix
For what the economy has maligned
