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 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
Ka-Ching~ Shania Twain
I was listening to this song recently and thinking of how weirdly appropriate it seems for this time of year, with everyone running around spending crazy money, trying to find the perfect gift.
It's really very sad how materialistic you become as an adult, although I suppose the same can be said for many kids these days.
