It started on the Real World
A hot tub full of hot girls
Grindin' every frat boy and freak

Line up all the Idols
Who paint on phony smiles
Tryin' to ride the fast track for free

Who's the Biggest Looser
I watched the 'Biggest Loser'
Bigger ratings for MTV

All the sole Survivors
Still stranded on the island
Lying through their teeth for money

So everybody dance! Everybody sing!
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Yeah we can swing it
Cha-Ching
When you take off all your clothes,
When you strike a Playboy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it
Cha-Ching

Every body stop and stare
Kardashian asses every where
If you missed it watch T-M-Z

Pretending to be (bleeped out)
The dealers playing all of them
While Flavor Flave get fucked up for free

Guess who's been livin' large
It's mini me the porn star
Google it I think you'll agree

And all the hotties on the Hills
Just getting rich and making deals (mills')
While you and I are watchin' TV

So everybody dance! Everybody sing!
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Yeah we can swing it
Cha-Ching
We take off all your clothes, we strike a Play Boy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it
Cha-Ching

The all American dream
Is getting fifteen for free

The all American dream is so skin deep

It started on the Real World
A hot tub full of hot girls
Grinding every frat boy and fake

So everybody dance! Everybody sing!
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Yeah we can swing it
Cha-Ching
We take off all your clothes, we strike a Play Boy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it
Cha-Ching

So everybody dance! Everybody sing!
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Yeah we can swing it
Cha-Ching
We take off all your clothes, we strike a Play Boy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it
Cha-Ching

So hurry turn it on, turn it on, get your 15 minutes
It's almost gone, turn it on, turn it on
(Cha-Ching)
So hurry turn it on, turn it on, get your 15 minutes
It's almost gone, turn it on, turn it on
(Cha-Ching)
