Plastic Paradise

Want it? Charge it!! Can't afford it? Charge it!! Plastic startin' to wear a bit thin? Charge it on another card...you win!! No one can stop you now... And, look, by God, You have rooms filled with stuff you can't use... No one, of you, could they accuse, Of being a tightwad, a spendthrift, A miser, a horder of gold, And, as a matter of fact, I've been told.... You owe so much your bills are delivered, In wheelbarrows, As you quivered, Oh, the hell with that, Lets start our day, With some charges on cards, we'll find a way, Plastic growing a bit too thin? People telling you what trouble you're in? Let's see, will we start our days work with visa or mastercard? Discover, Amex, It ain't so hard..... Amazon.com has a web site just for you? Their very best customer, with what you do... You live the life of a billionaire, As for bills, you have no care... Just throw them quickly, in the trash, Or in that huge box, which in you stash In case some day you need a laugh, Just open one, with your accountant staff, Not that you plan to pay them either, Just a chuckle as you tether, Upon economic collapse, Did they really expect me to pay them? Those useless saps!!
