Rappin' About How Not To Handle The New Economical Crisis Appearing On The Horizon

Tuesday, 3. June 2008, 17:12:11

I turned on my TV yesterday
A salesman appeared on screen to say:
"Why not, my friend, go buy a new car
In a car like this you'll go very far"
But the problem is, I haven't got no cash;
that's always been a problem of mine, alas
I was tempted and needed a brand new start
- then it dawned upon me: "I've got a Master Card!"

You know, the World is simple and yet confusing
though most of it appears to be very funny
It all depends on what kind of life you're choosing;
I chose a life of milk and lots of honey

-

I took my new car downtown today
A thousand adverts were there to say:
"Buy a house, take a loan, buy even more
then we'll soon come knocking at your door."
There were numerous signs on all the walls
aiming to cut off my financial balls
And buying a pair of new balls is hard
when all you've got is a Master Card.

You know, the World is simple and yet confusing
most of it appears to be all about money
It all depends of what kind of life you're choosing
A life in plastic really ain't that funny

Great!

My favorite lines:

And buying a pair of new balls is hard
when all you've got is a Master Card.

so true! so true! i once lived on plastic for three or four whole months. sadly, i spent the next ten years adjusting my monetary situations and only now have begun to learn the valuable lessons of budget control. this is a good write!

There you go, Deborah. My point exactly!

You can make drugs illegal in a society today, but you can't ban advertising. I wonder why. I've seen just as much misery coming from advertising as from drug-use.

By ricewood, # 4. June 2008, 20:51:13

advertising blah.

drug-use good. if it wasn't for sudafed once a day about two weeks every spring and fall, i wouldn't be able to breath and my nose wouldn't stop running away with me! ha, ha.

i also keep the apirin manufactuer in business. and don't get me started on my coffee and cigarette addictions.

how long has it been since you've seen a maxwell house coffee commercial on television? they advertise the "little blue pill" these days.
=====================
i know this is off topic, but does anyone remember the little diddy on the radio ads,

"oh thank heaven for seven-eleven."

I am not an American, so I for one don't recall those advertising thingies you refer to, Deborah. But a million others. Good grief.

Good idea, Edward. I actually plan to perform a show in a nearby shopping mall this afternoon. If I make a success out of myself, you just might be able to learn about it on CNN tomorrow. Or something. Verbal terrorism. Insulting millions of shoppers worldwide - for their own benefit, of course!

Good luck! I hope your bail isn't too high!
