You know the media is getting greedier
Every word out of three is inflationary
It's gettin' higher, higher, higher, higher
You know the wireless can't surprise us
With a key new phrase about economy
It's gettin' higher, higher, higher, higher
Oh, survival is out in the garden
The answer is over the fields
You see what you are
You are what you feel
Survival is out in the meadows
The answer lies under the blue
Whoever you are, whatever you do
You know the workers are in a circus
Under a big top tent of controversy
The politicians have great ambitions
They're out to make their names in history
They wanna go higher, higher, higher, higher
Oh, survival is out in the garden
The answer is over the fields
You see what you are
You are what you feel
Survival is out in the meadows
The answer lies under the blue
Whoever you are
Whatever you do
It's gettin' higher, higher, higher
