Once upon a time in the land of The of lawyers, guns and money A funny thing we all call greed Brought my hometown down to its
A little bit '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 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, evicted No street lights, no liquids I got no on my credit card And I'm three dates from the prison yard
My credit score's fallen 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
Sell me up, me down I be sold out here hangin' around Take my house, my car But you can't take my seat at the bar my crib, take my car But I'm my seat at the corner bar
Once a time in America The politicians went and outta love There was a of the common man And us sittin' here without no plan
Swimmin' bills like Michael Phelps Down and out and can't get no The are hungry, peepin' French Poodles Pickin' through for Ramen noodles
Standin' in line with a to feed Manhattan for Indian beads It's been a time since we felt good Got everybody on Robin Hood
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here around Take my house, 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
upon a time in America The went and fell outta love There was a raping of the man And left us sittin' without no plan
Sell me up, sell me 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
