Here's a song about the realisation that there's no escaping Karma, and whilst the subject matter might be a little on the heavy side, it's rather happy and the sort of thing that Spice Girls, Boyzone or Noisettes might sing. Sources at ccmixter.org!

Lyrics
Dollar
I only want a dollar
a dollar for myself
what I’d really like the most
is not to owe a penny
to anybody else
I wanna pay the taxman
for the welfare cheques I’ve had
pay back Mum for bail outs
when things round here got bad
pay back the composers
whose songs I’ve plagiarised
payback all the folk I’ve hurt
through cowardice and lies
I wanna have integrity
I’ve had it out with fakes
pay off all my overdraft
through any means it takes
I’ll shovel sh** or pump the gas
‘cos I’m no longer proud
I wanna get this message out
as long as I’m allowed
I’ve done with male dominance
the women I’ve messed up
the drinking’s coming to an end
I’m near my final cup
I wanna pay back everyone
I’ve screwed with in my life
you can cut my dick and balls off
if you give them to my wife
