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
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
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
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
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
And it is totally right! This song is a reflection of our lives now, which is, to make more money so that we can spend more money, to have more money so that we can buy more things.
Money makes a lot of things possible, but money will only make sense if you have weighed the pros and cons and then utilize it the right way - right in your own opinion of course, I'm not saying what I say here is right because only you know what is right, in your own definition.
Let's break it down:
With money, people can afford better medical care, they can have better food quality to put on the table, they can pursue their education, they can setup businesses or organizations that can profit the community.
With money, people can also splurge uncontrollably on high-end fashion items, private houses and vehicles, up their gambling habits and do many other self-destructive things.
How you use it will determine the outcome.
I stumbled upon this article, give it a good once over. It's sharing what I've previously shared, but arranged in better sentences :p
