One Or the Other

The power bill is so high, what are people going to do, we gotta stay warm, and we gotta stay cool. Open windows not a choice, the crime is so bad, maybe we can crack them, just a tad. Winter is approaching, and then the heat will stay on, that meter is a running, humming that dollar song. Something has to give, everything is too high, freezing from the cold or just about to fry. I guess I'll take a loan out, and pay this bill, how in the world will I ever climb this hill? Straight up, or straight down, it is a one way street, deciding between the two, comfort, or something to eat.
