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 Loser
I'll bust the biggest boozer
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 Play Boy pose
If you wanna go far, if you wanna be a star
Then you gotta bring it, Cha-Ching
Everybody stop and stare
Kardashians ass is everywhere
If you missed it watch TMZ
Pretending to be lesbians
The Tila's 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
While you and I are watchin' TV [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hedley/cha_ching.html ]
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 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 15 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 freak
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 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
When you take off all your clothes, when you 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)
Fame and fortune has become the driving factor for many peoples' lives in hollywood, and things like dignity and reputation are things that aren't of any concern.
This song ridicules such a mentality.

Wow! I think its about what people say on tv to get stuff and how what tv says and magizines say are not always true. Favourite lines "all the sole survivers still stranded on an island lying throught there teeth for money" and i love survivor :( but guess its the truth
This song is about the famous life!

Whoever is a shugo chara fan and who knows souma kukai, this song remind me of him.
This is about the arbitrary nature of "fame" in today's society and the craving people have to get it. It has nothing to do with the u. S. Or canada specifically, but is rather a commentary on the degradation of north american society as a whole.
"the all american dream is getting 15 (minutes of fame) for free": a commentary on the sense of entitlement to fame that people have and how they expect things to be handed to them because that's all they ever see in the media; "stars" being given everything they want. It's saying that in general, people want the fast track to success or stardom without doing any of the work.
I think its about society and the world revolving around everything that's wrong. We think too much on money and fame and are willing to do anything for it at any cost. I applaud hedley for it . Instead of writing another broken love gone wrong song they speak of something that actually has meaning. Who cares if your not a fan of them but just for the sake of the future state of the world read what they're saying
Personally i'm not a huge fan of this song; it's something i'll listen to but i won't buy it, and for me it's just not the hedley i know and love.
Based on reviews i've heard though, i don't think many people get the meaning behind the lyrics. I don't like them as much because i prefer the meaningful lyrics i can relate to, but i appreciate them for what they are.
I believe the message in this song is, contrary to popular belief, not pro-american. They're not dropping their canadian identity- they're creatively reinforcing it. The music style might be a bit of a sell-out, but the lyrics are satirizing american society, not glorifying it. They're criticizing how skin-deep the american dream of riches and fame is. The american dollar bill on the cover isn't "going american," it's there to remind us who the song is about. Canada's got class (;
I think this song is about how reality show stars who "paint on phoney smiles", and are trying to get famous. Lots of people are saying that they changed they're sound and they hate it. I do think it was a risk, but turned out amazing. I don't care if people hate they're new sound, i l o v e it !
