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