Foreclosure of a Dream

Rise so high, yet so far to fall

A plan of dignity and balance for all

Political breakthrough, euphoria's high

More borrowed money, more borrowed time

Backed in a corner, caught up in the race

Means to an end ended in disgrace

Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase

Foreclosure of a dream

Those visions never seen

Until all is lost, personal Holocaust

Foreclosure of a dream

Barren land that once filled a need

Are worthless now, dead without a deed

Slipping away from an iron grip

Nature's scales are forced to tip

The heartland cries, loss of all pride

To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried

Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide

Foreclosure of a dream

Those visions never seen

Until all is lost, personal holocaust

Foreclosure of a dream

The congress will push me to raise the taxes

And I'll say, "No, read my lips"

Read my lips, read my lips

Now with new hope some will be proud

This is no hoax, no one pushed out

Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer

Break new ground of a new frontier

New ideas will surely get by

No deed, or dividend, some may ask, "Why?"

You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky

Rise so high, yet so far to fall

A plan of dignity and balance for all

Political breakthrough, euphoria's high

More borrowed money, more borrowed time

Foreclosure of a dream

Those visions never seen

Until all is lost, personal holocaust

Foreclosure of a dream

Foreclosure of a dream

Those visions never seen

Until all is lost, personal holocaust

Foreclosure of a dream

Holocaust
