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

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You’ll live like a king

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

Rhythm ’n’ chant
I haven’t got a single penny
I’m miserable and broke
I’m gonna go and get a loan
And blow it on a car and home
And then when I’m completely bored
I’ll see what else I can afford
And if I can I’ll borrow more
And spend it in the local store
You think I’m greedy - I don’t care
Your jealous cause life isn’t fair
