bite the bullet


We can’t be living on subsidies
There will come a time it has to stop
We must bite the bullet now
Adjust our spending the way we live

It is also better to look into minimum wage
For the workers will feel the impact of it
The government must really acknowledge
The wages aren’t moving in tandem
With the costs of rising essentials

The hue and cry will be felt
Across the country for the people
The subsidies have to go sooner or later
We can’t be living on pretending lower costs

This is a global economics
The effects run around the world
The subsidy saves by the government
It must be channeled to a worthwhile cause
Affordable housing and poverty funding
Health care and proper old folks’ homes

When the minimum wage is increase
The workers should contribute a ringgit each a month
In this way their welfare will be accounted for
When they suffer economics downturn
Imagine the impact of the monetary value
It can run into hundred millions a year

We can’t be living on subsidies
Time we must give up and move on
And challenge ourselves to pursue
The intrinsic values of our lives
