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