[Intro]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Vacant lots and boarded up windows
Garbage piled up at the curb
There's a bank foreclosure notice taped to your front door

[Verse 2]
Who else is to blame for your own short sighted thinking?
What you could afford was never enough
You had to have more

[Chorus]
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 always wanted

[Bridge]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
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
Has the volume of wealth ever excused such abhorrent gluttony?
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Florida Dreaming
Florida Dreaming
Florida Dreaming
The life you've always wanted could be yours
