New parody:

(PRICES GOING) UP
Based on ‘Up’ by Shania Twain


The latest news are bugging me
Seems like all prices have increased
Where I used to drive along
The heartlands, it was free
Now I have to pay a fee

Don’t say I’m trying to be lame
I can’t help it but exclaim
There’s a rise up
In the price of rice
That’s right, that’s reality

[Chorus]
Up, up, up
Prices go up, we hear
Up, up, up
There’s no decrease, we fear
Up, up, up
Everything costs us so dear

It’s ‘bout as bad as it can be
Desperate for things on sale or free
It gets expensive every day
But they won’t raise my pay
There’s so much disparity

To [Chorus]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...

And every time you hear the beep
You feel your cash cards start to bleed
On the car, the train, the bus
Watch your deduction, aghast
At the balance in your card

Economy’s said to be strong
But our ang paos don’t last for long
The truthful price has come around
No way to keep it down
You gotta keep holding on…

Some peoples’ pays just don’t make sense
But die, die they want to defend
The reason why they’re doing this
‘Cos politics’ a gift
Of the talented elite

To [Chorus]

Oh-- I’m going up [4x]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...
