In the spirit of the holiday season I thought I’d post up the lyrics to a Shania Twain song that I think fits the season well..
Ka-Ching
By Shania Twain
We live in a greedy little world–
that teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly–
then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
We’ve created us a credit card mess
We spend the money that we don’t possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it’s shoppin’ every Sunday at the mall
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It’s such a beautiful thing–Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You’ll live like a king
With lots of money and things
When you’re broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when
you get bored
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Repeat Chorus]
Let’s swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know you’ve got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[Repeat Chorus]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You’ll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
Caveat Emptor!
Grim
P.S. Please don’t hold the fact that I listen to country music against me..
Ugh. I have lost so much respect for you!
At least just admit the lyrics are fitting! :)

Excellent. Brings to mind an oldie but a goodie…”You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run, you never count your money (“home equity”) when your sittin at the table, you’ll have time enough for countin when the dealin’s done”. The Gambler by Kenny Rogers ps: recently I was speaking to my kids on a ride in the car talking about how Americans for the most part live and how they buy things etc. and my 7 year old who generally has not much to say, say’s “Dad don’t they know that spending money isn’t going to make them rich?”
As I have said before on posts; I watch what these morons are paying these day’s and it literally cracks me up…dumb, dumb, dumb. The flow of funds away from them is unprecedented.
She is not really country. In other words she doesn’t sing aboput dead dogs getting drunk or pickups. Heck isn’t she canadian? I had no idea she was a social commmentator. I have newfound respect for her.
Hey I don’t listen to Shania Twain but I do agree wtih her lyrics 110%.
