lyrics

In Nothing We Trust
© BMI Teresa Rogers Critzer

I bought my home ten years ago, I always paid on time
My wife got sick and lost her job, and so we fell behind
There wasn’t time to make a plan, no softer place to fall
I was eighteen hundred dollars short, the Bank just took it all

For ten years I was middle class, until it all broke down
I’m living in a trailer now on the other side of town
When we moved out, I left the keys on the kitchen table inside
I still go by and cut the grass, for I still have my pride

Those of us that did our part
Played by the rules and lost
We’re only just beginning now
To see what this has cost
What’s happening to our country
In Nothing now We Trust
We have to save the American Dream
Before it turns to dust

Ain’t looking for no handout, don’t believe in no free meal
I’ve asked for nothing all my life, but I’d like to make a deal
Just lend me a small helping hand, I’ll get up off this ground
If someone would just give a damn, we’d turn this all around

I’d buy my house back from the Bank, pay any price they ask,
Just want my old life back again, but it’s all fading fast
I want to work but in this town the jobs have gone away
I just need to find the strength to get through one more day

Those of us that did our part
Played by the rules and lost
We’re only just beginning now
To see what this has cost
What’s happening to our country
In Nothing now We Trust
Have mercy on the American Dream
Before it turns to dust
Have mercy on the American Dream
Before it turns to dust
