Foreclosures 'R Us

I read a story in the LATimes this morning about Deputy Strickland, a foreclosure process agant. I have no idea why it made me think of a 1970's song by Rod Stewart, but it did.

Who’s that knocking on my door
Its gotta be a quarter to four
Is it you again coming round once more
Well you can serve me now if you want
But that doesn’t mean that I’ll be gone
Im talkin to you
Foreclosed, kicking me out
Foreclosed, I can scream and shout
Foreclosed, I was such a fool
I want some money…

Got a most persuasive gun
You’re ruining all my fun
But what you don’t understand
Im a working man
Need another shot of HELOC money
Before the time the bank’s finished with me
Im talking to you
Foreclosed, what is up with that?
Foreclosed, why you dirty rat
Foreclosed, took my Hummer too,
I need some money…

(breakdown, solo)

Imagine how my lifestyle felt
Now you’ve whacked me upside with a smelt
Thirty Five years old
Now this the hand I’m dealt

I’m in hock right up to my neck
Making me a financial wreck
Im talking to you
Foreclosed, got the subprime blues
Foreclosed, send me back to school
Foreclosed, I was such a fool
I want some money…

Foreclosed, made me a mark
Foreclosed, guess I’m not so sharp
Foreclosed, keep your threats to yourself
I need some money…
Foreclosed, you’re kicking me out
Foreclosed, I can scream and shout
Foreclosed, send me back to school
I want some money…
