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