It’s Going Up

It’s Going Up
584

-It’s going up, it’s going up,
Although we thought it went;
It still keeps climbing, climbing
Its rocky, steep ascent;
And we in awe perspiring
Just wonder where we’re at,
For still the rents keep going up,
And other things like that

The price of labor rises high
With every changing day,
To get your lease you may be spry,
Still it will get away;

You exercise your intellect,
You think you’re on the scent,
But you are fooled if you expect
To keep up with the rent

It’s going up, it’s going up,
It’s rising everywhere,
And so’s the price of labor
In a way to make you swear
And when you seek insurance
That is positively due,
You find your policy’s gone up
With rents and labor, too
