My health bill for the present year,
Is up thirty percent;
Add in my spouse’s medicines,
Its like a second rent.

Inflation, Inflation,
No health care—
No inflation.

The cost of gas to run my car
Is going through the roof,
You gotta drive long miles to work
You know this pricey truth.

Inflation, inflation
No commute—
No inflation.

I’m paying higher premiums
For home and car insurance;
Though I have never filed a claim,
It’s trying my endurance.

Inflation, inflation,
No cov’ridge—
No inflation

While local taxes rise and rise
Less services are free;
For many things I now pay twice,
That don’t seem fair to me.

Inflation, Inflation
No service—
No inflation.

The goodies bosses once doled out
At places where I work,
Are now shared outlays, that’s because,
They can’t afford to perk.

Inflation, inflation,
No bennies—
No inflation.

While common costs of daily life
Continually do soar,
The government’s bean counters opt
These costs to underscore.

Inflation, inflation,
Slick counting—
No inflation.
