Die to Survive - Metal Rock
(yeah) Another bill comes in the mail today
Another family trying to find a way
Working overtime just to stay afloat
While the rich keep sailing on a different boat
The shelves are full but the pockets are bare
People losing hope, breathing polluted air
Dreams get traded for a second job
While the headlines say everything's solved
We're running in circles,
chasing the lie Holding on through another night
The cost of living goes up as people die to survive Trying
to keep their hopes and their dreams alive Every dollar earned feels
farther away And tomorrow looks harder than yesterday
The cost of living goes up as people die to survive
We're holding on
with everything inside
But the human spirit refuses to die
When the world keeps raising the price of it all
Single mothers counting every dime
Retirees watching savings disappear with time Young men and women carrying debt
like chains Wondering if they'll ever break away Neighbors helping neighbors make
it through
Sharing what they have when there's little to lose
In the struggle there's a truth we find
The strongest hearts are forged in the hard times
We're battered by storms,
but still we fight
Searching for hope beyond the night
The cost of living goes up as people die to survive Trying
to keep their hopes and their dreams alive Every dollar earned feels
farther away And tomorrow looks harder than yesterday
The cost of living goes up as people die to survive We're
holding on with everything inside But the human spirit refuses to die
When the world keeps raising the price of it all Maybe one
day we'll remember again That people matter more than profits win
A nation's strength isn't measured by gold But by how it cares
for the young and old No matter how heavy the burden becomes
We'll keep standing together as one (standing together as one) The cost
of living rises day by day
But hope is one thing they can't take away
(can't take away)
