lyrics

OH HECK! I couldn’t afford my rent this week.
Living’s not that cheap. I better stop spending.

YIKES! I couldn’t fuel up my car this week,
Petrol prices are rising and I’m running on empty.

And maybe I should start re-evaluating,
My present, financial situation.
And maybe I should learn how to start saving,
In this disposable income, type of generation.

So take me back, to a caveman diet!
Where the food was raw, and you didn’t have to buy it.
I’d be healthy, but I can’t afford to try it.
So take me back to a caveman diet!

OH NO! We bought tickets to another show.
We can’t afford to go but we will anyway.

BOTHER! I didn’t get back to my car in time.
I copped another fine. My mum’s gonna kill me.

And maybe I should start re-evaluating,
My present, financial situation.
And maybe I should learn, how to start saving,
In this disposable income, type of generation.

So take me back, to a caveman diet!
Where the food was raw, and you didn’t have to buy it.
I’d be healthy, but I can’t afford to try it.
So take me back to a caveman diet!

Eat your spaghetti on a sunday arvo,
No more smashed, avocado.

So take me back, to a caveman diet!
Where the food was raw, and you didn’t have to buy it.
I’d be healthy, but I can’t afford to try it.
So take me back to a caveman diet!

No more funds to allocate,
Put that pasta on my plate.
