Lehigh Acres

Vacant lots and boarded up windows, 
Garbage piled up at the curb, 
There's a bank foreclosure notice 
Taped to a front door. 

Who else is to blame 
For your own short sighted thinking?
What you could afford 
Was never enough, 
You had to have more. 

And now you're facing 
This new reality. 
You're learning lessons 
That can only be taught 
Through poverty. 

Florida dreaming, 
Easy money in the sunshine state. 
Florida dreaming, 
The life you've always wanted. 

Million dollar, 
High rise condominiums, 
Look down over golf course greens, 
While Henrietta Hughes 
Begs the President for a home. 
There's no end in sight, 
Just a tropical third world, 
As if volume of wealth 
Ever excused 
Such abhorrent gluttony. 

And now you're facing 
This new reality, 
You're learning lessons 
That can only be taught 
Through poverty. 

Florida dreaming,
Easy money in the sunshine state,
 Florida dreaming, 
The life you've always wanted 
Could be yours.
