QUESTION OF THE WEEK

It's the first Economics 2009 Question of the Week!

Name a song that you think deals with issues of economics and pull out a couple of lyrics from the song that think best represent the idea. You can even link to a youtube video of the song (as long as it is relatively appropriate for your teacher's eyes and ears)

Here's my song...youtube video to come!
MONEY by PINK FLOYD

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasnt coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

  1. I found this song titled, "money money" by ABBA, which I think conveys a sense of the middle-class life. I pretty much dislike the video, so I'll avoid posting that, but here is the lyrics:
    I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
    Aint it sad
    And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
    Thats too bad
    In my dreams I have a plan
    If I got me a wealthy man
    I wouldnt have to work at all, Id fool around and have a ball...

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich mans world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich mans world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    Its a rich mans world

    A man like that is hard to find but I cant get him off my mind
    Aint it sad
    And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldnt fancy me
    Thats too bad
    So I must leave, Ill have to go
    To las vegas or monaco
    And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich mans world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich mans world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    Its a rich mans world

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich mans world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich mans world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    Its a rich mans world

    Its a rich mans world
