[Verse 1] The porch light's dim, the meter spins, Another month, the bill begins. What used to cost a couple dimes, Now robs me of these hard-earned times. [Verse 2] They say it's all supply and demand, But I see gold in their greedy hands. Out here we sweat, we toil, we fight, While they jack the rates up overnight. [Chorus] Oh, these shocking bills just cut so deep, All I do now is work and weep. The power flows, while profits rise, But all I see are corporate lies. [Verse 3] They send their suits to Washington town, To make sure laws don’t bring 'em down. And we’re left scraping on our knees, Paying their price so they can bleed. [Verse 4] Grandma’s quilt is keeping us warm, While the heater hums in its quiet storm. I unplug the lights to save a buck, Living in shadows, just my luck. [Bridge] Oh, when did this country make the trade, A working wage for the games they played? The power’s theirs, they sealed the deal, Now I see red with every bill.
