Once upon a time in the of plenty The of lawyers, guns and money A little thing we all call greed Brought my down to its knees
A bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in Baby needs shoes and the thin Got no gas or But singin' in harmony
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' hangin' around my house, take my car But you can't take my at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
No block party, evicted No street lights, no liquids I got no on my credit card And I'm three court dates from the yard
My credit score's fallen the New York Mets There ain't a debt collector ain't called yet They say, "Money talk, it only swears" And got me in my underwear
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' here around Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once upon a time in The went and fell outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' without no plan
Swimmin' through like Michael Phelps Down and out and get no help The are hungry, peepin' French Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen
Standin' in with a family to feed Manhattan for Indian beads It's a long time since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Robin
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' here around Take my house, my car But you take my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
Once upon a in America The politicians went and fell love was a raping of the common man And us sittin' here without no plan
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you take my seat at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
