Kaching by Shania Twain

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 ceated us a credit card mess

We spend the money 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

[Chorus:]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

Hmmm, saya sangat setuju dengan anda, Shania. Lately, saya selalu ditemukan dengan satu spesies manusia. Biasa dengar orang tamak selalu rugi? Nak tambah sikit. Orang tamak selalunya kedekut. Orang kedekut biasanya tamak. People who give nothing always want everything.

Hari ni saya rasa nak cakap, "I've told you so! I've told you so! I've told you so! I've told you so!" banyak-banyak kali. Kalau boleh nak cakap sampai kepala otak orang yang berkenaan meletup. Kita beritahu sebab kita ambil berat, tak mahu mereka-mereka ni terjebak. Tapi apa orang-orang macam kita dapat? Dituduh berfikiran negatif, dengki, busuk hati etc. etc. So I decided to let you learn the hard way. Cakap banyak tak guna, biarlah pengalaman jadi pelajaran. Dan dengan gembiranya kukatakan....

PADAN MUKA!!!!!

Dear friend, 

Aku tahu kau bangga dengan pencapaian kau. Tapi ingatlah, setiap kereta mewah kau, setiap banglo kau, tanah yang kau beli, duit yang kau leburkan kat shopping complex tu, ada antaranya datang daripada titik peluh orang lain. Kau mungkin gembira dengan modal yang dah pusing dan untung yang berlipat kali ganda tu. Tapi pikirlah mangsa-mangsa yang kau jerat. Hati-hati yang kau lukakan. Aku sikitpun tak kisah kalau pertalian kita terputus kalau kau mahukannya, tapi apa yang aku harapkan, kau kembali ke pangkal jalan. Aku tak pikir yang kau akan peduli atau baca apa yang aku tulis, tapi ni lah luahan paling ikhlas daripada aku untuk kau. Semoga Allah selamatkan kau.
