Once upon a time in the of plenty The land of lawyers, and money A funny little thing we all call Brought my hometown down to its
A little bit 'bout the shape I'm in Baby needs and the wallet's thin Got no gas or But everybody's in harmony
Sell me up, me down I be out sittin' 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 my seat at the corner bar
No block party, everybody's No street lights, no liquids I got no room on my credit And I'm three court dates from the prison
My credit score's fallen the New York Mets There ain't a collector that ain't called yet They say, "Money don't talk, it swears" And got me in my underwear
Sell me up, sell me I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar my crib, take 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 of the common man And left us here without no plan
Swimmin' through bills like Michael and out and can't get no help The kids are hungry, peepin' Poodles Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen
Standin' in with a family to feed Tradin' for Indian beads been a long time since we felt good Got waitin' on Robin Hood
Sell me up, me down I be sold out sittin' here hangin' Take my house, my car But you can't my seat at the corner bar my crib, take my car But I'm keepin' my seat at the bar
Once upon a in America The politicians and fell outta love There was a of the common man And us sittin' here without no plan
me up, sell me down I be sold out here hangin' around my house, take 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
