A Mortgage
G D
Mortgage, the experts say, means mortgagees are in the ‘grip of
A
death’,
G D
Why do oh so many of us get caught up in a mortgage until our
A
final dying breath?
G D
Why do we let these people sign us into a whole life-time of
G
strife?
D G
Why do we put ourselves into a death grip when we are in the
A
prime of life?

G D
Why can’t we build ourselves a shelter that is not beyond our

means,
G D A
As long as it is safe enough, as long as it is clean?
G D
Start out with the basics, then, as we get older;
G D
Keep making additions and improvements as we are growing
A
bolder.
G D
Why have a five room mansion with payments that we cannot

really meet,
G D A
Only finding out a few years later we are living on the street,
D
Dining out at soup kitchens, looking for a helping hand,
G
Yes take from us the houses, if you feel you must, but leave us

D A D
with a bit of land!
