Lyrics
0:15Once upon a time in the land of plenty
0:17The land of lawyers guns and money
0:20A funny little thing we all call greed
0:23Brought my hometown down to its knees
0:25A little bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in
0:28Baby needs shoes and the wallet's thin
0:31Got no gas or electricity
0:33But everybody's singin' in harmony
0:36Sell me up sell me down
0:39I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
0:42Take my house take my car
0:44But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
0:47Take my crib take my car
0:50But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
0:53No block party everybody's evicted
0:55No street lights no runnin' liquids
0:58I got no room on my credit card
1:00And I'm three court dates
1:02From the prison yard
1:03My credit score's fallen
1:04Like the New York Mets
1:06There ain't a debt collector that
1:07Ain't called yet
1:08They say "Money don't talk it only swears"
1:12And got me cussing in my underwear
1:14Sell me up sell me down
1:17I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
1:19Take my house take my car
1:22But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
1:25Take my crib take my car
1:27But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
1:30Once upon a time in America America
1:36The politicians went and fell outta love
1:41There was a raping of the common man
1:47And left us sittin' here without no plan
1:54Swimmin' through bills like Michael Phelps
1:57Down and out and can't get no help
2:00The kids are hungry peepin' French Poodles
2:03Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen noodles
2:05Standin' in line with a family to feed
2:08Tradin' Manhattan for Indian beads
2:11It's been a long time since we felt good
2:13Got everybody waitin' on Robin Hood
2:16Sell me up sell me down
2:19I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
2:21Take my house take my car
2:24But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
2:27Take my crib take my car
2:29But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
2:32Once upon a time in America America
2:38The politicians went and fell outta love
2:44There was a raping of the common man
2:49And left us sittin' here without no plan
2:57Sell me up sell me down
2:59I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
3:02Take my house take my car
3:04But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
3:08Take my crib take my car
3:10But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
3:12At the corner bar
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 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 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 bar At the corner bar
