Once upon a time in the land of The land of lawyers, and money A funny little thing we all greed Brought my hometown to its knees
A bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in Baby shoes and the wallet's thin Got no gas or But singin' in harmony
Sell me up, sell me 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
No party, everybody's evicted No street lights, no liquids I got no room on my card And I'm three dates from the prison yard
My score's fallen like the New York Mets There ain't a debt collector 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' here around my house, take my car But you take my seat at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once a time in America The politicians went and fell outta There was a of the common man And left us sittin' here without no
Swimmin' through bills like Phelps and out and can't get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for noodles
Standin' in with a family to feed Tradin' Manhattan for beads It's been a long time we felt good Got everybody on Robin Hood
me up, sell me down I be out sittin' 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 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 no plan
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' here hangin' 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
