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 about 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 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 Got me cussing in my underwear Sell me up, sell me down 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 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 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
