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