Be careful what you wish for....
I heard this song on CBC Radio 2 today. I love it. This whole concept of money-rich and time-poor has been on my mind a lot lately. This song really captures my feelings on the subject. God I'm having a hard time finding words today. Just check out the song. GO.
there’s nothing like that cold hard sell
they’re getting away with murder!
there’s nothing like no money down and
don’t pay ‘til next December
there’s nothing like a new TV
to paint you in a corner
there’s nothing like a long workweek
(we’ll) just stay a little longer
a new kitchen table comes complete
with a pile of cable bills
another day in daycare,
‘cause we’re doing it for the kids
there’s nothing like a bottle
and a skinny little model
telling me I me I want and I deserve more
careful what you wish for
there’s nothing like a logo
and a snappy little motto
and they better have the colour I want
'cause I’m the boss
there’s nothing like that long commute
makes you a little older
there’s nothing like 4 seasons on
with 2 weeks off in the summer
there’s nothing like those huge billboards
when you’re driving down the gardiner
they always try to come across like they’re doing us a favour
“imagine you in a new hot rod"
" we deal in peace of mind”
“you can afford the lap of god”
you just can’t afford the time!
there’s nothing like a bottle
and a skinny little model
telling me I me I want
and I deserve more
careful what you wish for
there’s nothing like a logo
and a snappy little motto
and they better have the colour I want
careful what you wish for
I can’t resist that cold hard sell
I’m going broke
I am what I own
I know ‘cause I saw the commercial
I am what I owe
I signed and I made it official
they’ll take our first born
can’t say we weren’t warned
there’s nothing like that cold hard sell
now I’m the sweepstakes winner
check the spot in the little box
and they’ll send a free subscription
there’s nothing like a bottle
and a skinny little model
telling me I me I want and I deserve more
careful what you wish for
there’s nothing like a logo
and a snappy little motto
and they better have the colour I want
careful what you wish for
I can’t resist that cold hard sell
I’m going broke
