The Price Of Rice

Well, the price of rice is rising from a penny to a pound

And there'll soon be starving people everywhere we look around

I don't understand the economy so I'll sing another tune

But let's just try to make sure, everybody's got some food

Well, the price of a house is rising, the mortgage rates are fucked

It looks like first time buyers are running out of luck

Your bank accounts are in the red and cameron's in the blue

If northern rock collapses what the fuck is he going to do?

My old man said remember the waltons

They were poor, but they were happy

You've got food on your back

You've got clothes in your mouth

You should be fucking happy

Someone's always got more than you

Someone's always got less

Don't worry about it

Be true to yourself,

And try your fucking best

Well, the price of petrol's rising and the barrel's running dry

The motorways are gridlocked and still you want to drive

We keep on blaming exxon, we keep on blaming shell

We keep on blaming leaders, but we never blame ourselves

My old man said remember the waltons

They were poor, but they were happy

You've got food on your back

You've got clothes in your mouth

You should be fucking happy

Someone's always got more than you

Someone's always got less

Don't worry about it

Be true to yourself

And try your fucking best

Well, the price of life is precious and you only get one chance

So let the chips fall where they lie and try to have a laugh

Don't take yourself so seriously, if you wanted to change the world

Start treating everybody, how you'd like to be treated yourself
