Stories in the press of rising credit debt prompted this somewhat cynical look at modern living.

Platinum, gold or maybe silver
They make life easy but make my life hard
Oh you may think I have money to burn
But I'm just a slave to my credit card.

Rise every morning before the sun
My back is aching the work I’ve done
Six days a week through the wind and rain
Six days a week it is always the same.

Platinum, gold or maybe silver
They make life easy but make my life hard
Oh you may think I have money to burn
But I'm just a slave to my credit card.

Queues on the highways for miles and miles
Lots of grim faces there are no smiles
Crawling to work for no acclaim
And then at night I trudge home again.

Platinum, gold or maybe silver
They make life easy but make my life hard
Oh you may think I have money to burn
But I'm just a slave to my credit card.

Looking forward to my summer holiday
Dreaming of the time I will spend away
In the sun.

Platinum, gold or maybe silver
They make life easy but make my life hard
Oh you may think I have money to burn
But I'm just a slave to my credit card.

Platinum, gold or maybe silver
They make life easy but make my life hard
Oh you may think I have money to burn
But I'm just a slave to my credit card.

Working hard every day
Trying to keep the wolf at bay
I am just a slave to my card.
