Once upon a time in the land of The land of lawyers, and money A funny little thing we all call my hometown down to its knees
A bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in Baby shoes and the wallet's thin Got no gas or But everybody's singin' in
me up, sell me down I be out sittin' here 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 my seat at the corner bar
No party, everybody's evicted No street lights, no runnin' I got no on my credit card And I'm three court dates from the yard
My credit score's fallen like the New 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
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 Take my crib, my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
upon a time in America The politicians went and outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' without no plan
Swimmin' through bills Michael Phelps Down and out and can't get no The kids are hungry, French Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen
in line with a family to feed Tradin' for Indian beads It's been a long time since we good Got everybody waitin' on Robin
Sell me up, me down I be sold out here hangin' around Take my house, my car But you can't take my at the corner bar Take my crib, my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
Once upon a time in The went and fell outta love There was a of the common man And left us here without no plan
Sell me up, sell me I be out sittin' here 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
