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
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
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!
A distinctive song from a famous pop singer, usually singing about love and men. Its about the disease of our societies, the consumerism, and the feeling of internal emptiness we feel, trying in vain to fill it with shopping therapy. We read in wikipedia:
The song deals with America's consumer culture through boom years of 1990s and early 2000s....Lyrically, the song talk about the greed in the world....The video depicts a city consumed with greed, Twain finds the streets empty and cars left abandoned while everyone is in a casino, sticking with the theme of the song. Scenes of Twain sporting a silver outfit and a dress (red in the pop version, green in the country version, and blue in the world version) are intercut throughout the video. The pop version with the red dress was the one typically used. "Ka-Ching!" is one of only two Shania videos to remain commercially unavailable.You can hear and see this song-video in youtube
