Once upon a time in the of plenty The land of lawyers, and money A little thing we all call greed Brought my hometown down to its
A little bit 'bout the shape I'm in needs shoes and the wallet's thin Got no gas or But everybody's singin' in
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 party, everybody's evicted No lights, no runnin' liquids I got no room on my credit And I'm three court dates from the prison
My score's fallen like the New York Mets There ain't a debt that ain't called yet They say, "Money talk, it only swears" And got me in my underwear
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' 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
Once a time in America The politicians and fell outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' here no plan
through bills like Michael Phelps Down and out and get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for noodles
Standin' in line with a family to Tradin' for Indian beads It's been a long since we felt good Got everybody waitin' on Robin
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out 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
Once upon a in America The went and fell outta love There was a of the common man And left us sittin' here no plan
me up, sell me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my at the corner bar
