Ka-Ching!
Shania Twain Lyrics

We live in a greedy little world,
Our society values money and material possessions above all else.

That teaches every little boy and girl
Children are encouraged to pursue wealth from a young age.

To earn as much as they can possibly,
We are taught to prioritize obtaining money to the fullest extent possible.

Then turn around and spend it foolishly
Despite the importance of accumulating wealth, we often make poor choices when spending it.

We've created us a credit card mess
Our reliance on credit cards has led us to a financial crisis.

We spend the money that we don't possess
We frequently spend more money than we actually have through the use of credit.

Our religion is to go and blow it all
Our culture promotes the idea of spending all of our money.

So it's shopping every Sunday at the mall
Shopping has become a weekly ritual for many people.

All we ever want is more
Our desire for wealth and possessions is insatiable.

A lot more than we had before
We always want more than what we already possess.

So take me to the nearest store
We are constantly seeking out more material possessions.

Can you hear it ring
The sound of spending money can be exhilarating.

It makes you want to sing
Spending money can bring a sense of joy and excitement.

It's such a beautiful thing, ka-ching
Money can be very alluring and enticing.

Lots of diamond rings
Expensive jewelry is one of the many things we desire.

The happiness it brings
We believe that acquiring material possessions can lead to greater happiness.

You'll live like a king
We equate wealth with royalty and ultimate success.

With lots of money and things
We think having a lot of money and possessions will bring us true fulfillment.

When you're broke, go and get a loan
We often rely on loans to fund our excessive spending habits.

Take out another mortgage on your home
We may take extreme measures such as mortgaging our homes to maintain our standard of living.

Consolidate so you can afford
We may consolidate our debts to continue spending without constraint.

To go and spend some more when you get bored
We view spending as a form of entertainment and may do it when bored or restless.

Let's swing
Let's spend recklessly and without inhibition.

Dig deeper in your pocket
We encourage each other to spend more than we originally intended.

Oh, yeah, ha
An expression of the excitement and joy that comes with spending money.

Come on, I know you've got it
Encouraging others to spend more without thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions.

Dig deeper in your wallet
Spend more, even if you have to use credit or take out a loan to do so.

Whoa
An expression of the thrill and excitement that comes with spending money.

Can you hear it ring
The continued allure and excitement of spending money.

It makes you want to sing
We are encouraged to think of spending money as a form of entertainment or enjoyment.

You'll live like a king
We believe that accumulating wealth and possessions will lead to a life of luxury and privilege.

With lots of money and things
We see material possessions as the key to happiness and success.

Ka-ching
The sound of spending money remains desirable and alluring, even after repeated references throughout the song.
