Christmas Eve seems like a good time to launch my anthem for 2022, You Owe Me.
Christmas Eve seems like a great time to release my anthem for 2022, You Owe Me. I know that a tune about financial obligation is a lump of coal in the stocking, so to speak, but if we look at someone’s debt as somebody else’s asset and income source, then all the debt that’s being taken on to fund Christmas (and stimulus, tax subsidies, university degrees, gambling chips in the stock exchange casino, etc) is really cheery certainly for the somebodies who own all that debt.
I understand it’s taboo to point out that we live in a period of extravagance in which Christmas is 365 days a year for those with the money/ credit to delight in deals with and high-ends all year, simply as it’s taboo to discuss that much of this luxurious and frequently wasteful 365 days of Christmas costs is borrowed.
It’s likewise taboo to point out that all debt winds up in the exact same location: You Owe Me: Christmas year-round for those collecting the income from debtors, penury for those owing the debt.
Wishing you a debt-free, waste-free, carefree holiday season.
I wish to thank Jimi Juju for doing all the heavy lifting on this tune (playing drums, bass and rhythm guitar, engineering and recording) while I’m to blame for the vocals and lead guitar bits. Here are the lyrics for those who wish to follow along.
You inform me that you can’t pay for the lease
the trainee loan or your truck
I do not care about your issues pal
simply do what it requires to get me the bucks
You owe me
You owe me and I’m gon na inform you how it’s gon na be
You state that you did whatever you were informed
Got your degree and a gig
Now you lost your job and can’t pay what you owe
Since your debt is too damn huge
You owe me
You owe me and I’m gon na inform you how it’s gon na be
I’ll be simply great
I have actually made up my own mind
To make a huge wild bet
That’ll pay all my debt
You inform me that I can’t get blood from a stone
I hear that all the time
But let me inform you, buddy how it is
I can cut flesh from the bone
You owe me
You owe me and I’m gon na tell you how it’s gon na be
