Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh me, oh my, cost of living get so high.
My my, what now, got to make it, don't know how.
Oh me, oh my, want to see heaven, but I don't want
Oh me, oh my, cost of living get so high.
My my, what now, got to make it, don't know how.
Oh me, oh my, want to see heaven, but I don't want to die.
We believe peace begins within
