Bills keep climbing, paycheck's the same
Feels like we're stuck in an endless game
Prices soar high, but wages won't budge
Making ends meet with a little nudge
Round and round the world it goes
Costs keep rising, but pay moves slow
From Tokyo to Rio, London to LA
The struggles' real, day after day
Gas and groceries, rent's through the roof
Saving for future? That's hard to do
Dreams on hold, just getting by
The middle class continues to sigh
We work so hard, but fall behind
A global issue, ties that bind
From east to west, north to south
The gap keeps growing, without a doubt
When will the balance tip our way?
A fairer world, a brighter day
Till then we'll push on through the strain
Hoping one day, for change to reign
