LED ZEPPELIN LYRICS


"Stairway To Heaven"



There's a CS lady who knows not all that glitters gives Diamond or gold.
And she's buying a VR at 7/11.
When she gets there she knows, if the deal is not hosed.
With her cards she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, And she's buying a VR at 7/11.


There's a sign in the Walmart but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes "debit" has two meanings.
In a phone tree you must call, there's a CSR who sings,
Sometimes all of our identity must be faxed in and given.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the CVS,
And my spirit is crying for VRs leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen reams of MO stock made from trees,
And the voices of those who stand in line looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered on blogs too soon, if we all blog it it will be ruined,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who MSd long,
And the empty Walmarts will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your credit line, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the FR queen.
yes there are two GCs can choose from
But in the long run it don't mind what car do debit from.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear CS lady, can you hear the fraud alerts grow, and did you know
You think your customer lies because he follows your T&Cs within?

And as we drive from store to store down the road
Our MS is woven into our soul.
There walks a CS lady we all know
Who checks our ID and wants to show
How everything scratched off VRs is silver and not gold.
And if you listen very hard
The blggger will ruin your deal at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be an MSer and not a troll.

And she's buying a VR at 7/11.

Love it, MM!

ADK helped do up the Led Zep song in post #1... and our own MS MOD inspired the creation of this thread.

MS Songs can be ones you listen to when MSing, or ones you create from classic or other known tunes to be about MS.

to do it, and there should be a wiki lol, just go get the lyrics of any tune you like off Google and copy paste to a word or text file and change a few things around to the commonly used MSia.


I shall now begin posting a few more... not to take over the thread, but instead just to post ones I had already put in other MS threads but now they belong here.

I encourage others to write and post their own!

I guess this time you're really leaving FT
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my ended TYP lies bleeding
you say true MS is suicide

You say you've tried a thousand gift cards
And now you're swimming in debt for sure
You're left drowning in financial ruin
And balance transfers won't save you anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give MS one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These 5-X cards I'll apply for you
When you swipe I want to be the pin pad for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die at Walmart for you
I'd do the suntrust for the sky miles for you

Blogs can't say what MS can do
I'll be there for you

Marathon Man

Come to me - goo goo dolls

I'll be in line if MOs are printable
You be at CVS and I'll be grateful
Cover me with GCs dear
Lighten up the atmosphere
Keep me warm inside our lie flat bed
I got dreams of first class all through my head
Fortune teller said I'd get a new CC
And that's the day my 5x cards came to me

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Come to me my sweet clerk friend
Can you feel my heart again
I'll take you back to Walmart where you belong
And the sound of MO printers will be our favorite song
Come to me with MS secrets bared
I'll love your blog more so don't be scared
When our cards are old and near the end
We'll go home and start again

Ooo Ooo Oooo, Ooo Ooo Oooo

I caught you burnin' photoshopped IDs and pie graphs
Like that could save you from your MS past
History is like gravity
It holds you down away from flying with me
You and me, we've both got shut down sins
I don't care about where you've been
Don't be sad and don't explain
This is where we start again
Start again

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Hey MM:

Realizing you have an embosser, I got to thinking about an old song by America called "A Card with No Name."

As I recall it had the refrain - "I went to the Walmart with a card with no name...."

Marathon Man

I have been slacking at pasting in the songs I had done already and making up new ones, but yes ADK... it is good to be reminded of the 70s rock that defined everything in MS!

AMERICA LYRICS

"A Horse With No Name"

On the first part of the drug store journey
I was looking at all the cash back life
There were MoneyPaks and bluebirds and GCs and things
There was a bank and a CVS and other stores with MS bling
The first thing I met was a clerk with a security-minded buzz
And the skymiles with no redemption around
The driving around MSing in the heat was hot and walking the ground in and out of stores was dry
But the custonmer service desk was full of sound

I've been to the Walmart with a card with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the Walmart you can make up your name
'Cause there ain't no one ID'ing you under two K
La, la ...

After two days in a desert suntrust
My account began to go into the red
After three days in that desert fun
I was looking at a first class flat bed
And the story it told of the AS cache that once flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been to the Walmart with a card with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the Walmart you can make up your name
'Cause there ain't no one ID'ing you under two K
La, la ...

After nine days I found some MS that's free
'Cause the drug store had a promo fee-free
There were MoneyPaks and bluebirds and GCs and things
There was a bank and a CVS and other stores with MS bling
The MS ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the blogs lies a heart made of MS that's grounded
But the newbie humans will give no love


I've been to the Walmart with a card with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the Walmart you can make up your name
'Cause there ain't no one ID'ing you under two K
La, la ...

AMERICA LYRICS

"Sister Golden Hair"

Well I tried to make it to Walmart Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself ready to MS
I ain't ready for the FR but I do agree there's times
When a credit card sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, GC Golden present package surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor FT correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean my real job ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the CVS, will you meet me in first class the air?
Will you love to MS with me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it by stamping a name on my GCs, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it work like MM says he does

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, GC Golden present package surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor FT correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean my real job ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the CVS, will you meet me in first class the air?
Will you love to MS with me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it by stamping a name on my GCs, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it work like MM says he does

Doo wop doo wop ...

AC/DC LYRICS

"Wells Bells"

I'm rolling WF thunder pouring rain
I'm coming on like a MS hurricane
My lightning slight of hand GC flashing across the eye
You're only a young clerk but you're gonna help me burn these GCs or I will die
I won't take no for a clerk's answer, won't spare no CSR lives
No manager's putting up a fight
I got my Wells I'm gonna take you to my Walmart that smells like hell
I'm gonna get ya MSin get ya

Wells bells
Wells bells, you got my CC's fraud line ringing
Wells bells, my credit line's not high
Wells bells

I'll give you cash back sensations up and down your spine
If you're into CVS you're a friend of mine
See the white light flashing as debit transactions spit out all night
Cause if good's in the left pocket then I'm sticking the burned ones in the right
I won't take no prisoners won't spare no lives
No manager's putting up a fight
I got my Wells I'm gonna take you to my Walmart that smells like hell
I'm gonna get ya MSin get ya

Wells bells
Wells bells, you got my CC's fraud line ringing
Wells bells, my credit line's not high
Wells bells

Wells bells, points are coming to you
Wells bells, CC's ringing to call me now

Those Wells bells, credit line's not high
Wells bells, earn enough miles to fly
Wells bells, they're cutting your CL down
Wells bells, they credit payments like a clown
Wells bells, debit transactions spit out all night
Wells bells, there's no other way to fight

Wells bells

Money For Nothing Lyrics

I want my... I want my TYP.....


Now look at them yo-yos thats the way you do it
You play the gc game on the TYP
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money orders for nothin and mortgage checks for free
Now that aint workin thats the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them Citi guys are dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger from swiping
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

At Walmart, we CSRs gotta return microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour tvs

See the little MSer with the credit cards and miles
Yeah buddy he's got some flair
That little MSer rides on many a jet airplane
That little MSer hes a points millionaire

I shoulda learned to play the GC game
I shoulda learned not to be so dumb
Look at that mama, she stickin it in the store camera
Man we could have some fun
And whats that? He's staying in Hawaiian hotels?
Just by bangin on the pin pad like a chimpanzee
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Get your money for nothin get your mortgage checks for free

AveApostle

Sorry in advance...I don't mean to steal MM's turf
(I'm just the Oates to his Hall, after all):

They met by the card rack
In the old CVS
He served in Iraq
She kinda MS'd

And their hearts beat like thunder
Getting VRs by the score
But when the credit was over
They fell outta their chairs
And onto the floor.
(Yes, they did.)

Yeah, a man loves his drugstore
But he gets really sore
When she finally decides,
Won't take credit no more
So he goes to some Walmart
Like he's some kind of jerk
Swipes a card in the kiosk
But the damn thing don't work

So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe OneVanilla
Is the answer (today)
MSers, we're so close, so close--yet so far away.

Some people think,
if you just read FT
That's all you need,
to solve MS mystery.
But I know someone,
just posts pics of his wife,
And some circles and arrows...
(c'mon, dude, get a life)

So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe that an FR
Might be worse than AA
Face it, we're so close, so close--yet so far away.

There's a old Blue Cash in your pants tonight
There's a secret Marathon Man card
And the dream that pulls us to spend it, girl,
Is the dream that Cary Chaney's tearin' apart

There's a angry post on FT tonight
Someone find us some way out of here
(I see you looking, f0xx)
But we gotta fight, and do it together, people
For the dream, that keeps us

So close, yet so far away
Accounts close, we still find a way
Who would have thought, after dollar coins,
We'd still be here today?
DAMMIT so close, so close--yet so far away.

WE'RE LIVIN' IN THE FIRST WORLD
