about
If You Can't Afford It (Fuckin' Finance It) is the second song in an ongoing series celebrating the glory days of the indoor mall. This song in particular is a commentary on the 80's credit boom and influenced heavily by silky retro new wave.
Featuring Marnie with a fantastic guest vocal performance and Tanner Cundy dropping by with a rip-roaring keyboard solo, this song reaches for the 24k gold stars.
Hopefully, the Musak version will be soon playing over Woolworth's PA speakers nation wide.
lyrics
You need a stereo
With remote control
A cassette deck with a turntable
You need a Camaro
With the cruise control
An IROC-Z
Convertible
It's all
State of the art, oh
It's all
Top of the line, oh
If you can't afford it
Fuckin' Finance it
Yeah, you need new clothes
By Bambi Breakstone
A Betamax and a Nintendo
It's all
State of the art, oh
It's all
Top of the line, oh
If you can't afford it
Fuckin' Finance it
(solo)
If you can't afford it
Fuckin' Finance it
