| Bread
goes up so bread goes up again Rents go up This brings an instant doubling of all rents The cost of clothes goes up So the cost of clothes goes up again. There's no way out We're caught in a vicious circle. In the cage there is food. Not much, but there is food. Outside are only great stretches of freedom.
