Lyrics
[Intro]
Tap the card
Pray it clears (please)
Laugh so you don’t
Break down in tears (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Hit the servo, forty bucks
Barely moves the dial
Watch it drip like liquid gold
Been broke for a while
Rent’s a joke, my wage is static
Coles bag lookin’ tragic
Maggie noodles, budget spreads
Call that Aussie magic
They in Canberra sippin’ flat whites
Talkin’ “market trends”
We in hi-vis, chasing shift work
Just to make the ends
They claim “mateship”, claim “we’re listening”
Same script every year
But when the votes are counted
They forget we’re even here (oi)
[Chorus]
Everything’s goin’ up, up, up
But my pay stay stuck, stuck, stuck (stuck)
Fill the tank, that’s my whole week gone
How we meant to carry on?
They say “tighten up your belt”
While they fly first class on top
Cost of livin’ got us choke, choke, choked
But they don’t care if we drop
[Verse 2]
Land down under, upside down
Bills above my head
Afterpay on sneakers
But I’m stressin’ over bread
Tradies tradin’ overtime
For one Big Mac and fries
Nurses pullin’ doubles
With the bags under their eyes
Parliament on question time
It’s all theatre seats
Arguin’ like school kids
We just tryin’ to eat
They spin stats, spin the story
Say the forecast’s fine
Tell ‘em come do groceries
On a Tuesday with my line
[Chorus]
Everything’s goin’ up, up, up
But my pay stay stuck, stuck, stuck (hey)
Fill the tank, that’s my whole week gone
How we meant to carry on?
They say “tighten up your belt”
While they fly first class on top
Cost of livin’ got us choke, choke, choked
But they don’t care if we drop
[Bridge]
Shout out to the ones
Still sharın’ what they got
Half a pack of ciggies
Split between the lot (yeah)
From the bush to the ‘burbs
From the flats to the farms
If they won’t lift us up
We’ll link arm in arm (oi, oi)
[Chorus]
Everything’s goin’ up, up, up
But my pay stay stuck, stuck, stuck
Fill the tank, that’s my whole week gone
How we meant to carry on?
They say “tighten up your belt”
While they fly first class on top
Cost of livin’ got us choke, choke, choked
But they don’t care if we drop

Verses stay nimble with double-time pockets and witty local references; chorus explodes with gang vocals and stomping claps built for crowd shout-alongs.
