Lyrics.-
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 speirit of the chase.
Chorus
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 scale 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.
(chorus, repeat)
Solo ú Dave
Now with a new hope some will be proud.
This is no hoax, no one pushed out.
Recieve 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 answer is in the sky.
Solo ú Marty
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.
(repeat chorus)
