Corner Bar

[00:14.93] Once upon a time in the land of plenty
[00:17.54] The land of lawyers, guns and money
[00:20.24] A funny little thing we all call greed
[00:23.02] Brought my hometown down to its knees
[00:25.67] A little bit worried about the shape I'm in
[00:28.48] Baby needs shoes and the wallet's thin
[00:31.00] Got no gas or electricity
[00:33.74] But everybody's singin' in harmony...
[00:36.40] Sell me up, sell me down
[00:38.97] Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
[00:41.96] Take my house, take my car
[00:44.37] But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
[00:47.37] Take my crib, take my car
[00:49.53] But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
[00:52.60] No block party, everybody's evicted
[00:55.43] No street lights, no runnin' liquids
[00:58.00] I got no room on my credit card
[01:00.42] And I'm three court dates from the prison yard
[01:03.33] My credit score's fallen like the New York Mets
[01:06.04] There ain't a debt collector that ain't called yet
[01:08.44] They say money don't talk, it only swears
[01:11.91] Got me cussing in my underwear
[01:14.07] Sell me up, sell me down
[01:16.79] Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
[01:19.66] Take my house, take my car
[01:22.09] But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
[01:25.07] Take my crib, take my car
[01:27.35] But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
[01:30.58] Once upon a time in America (America)
[01:36.24] The politicians went and fell outta love
[01:41.62] There was a raping of the common man
[01:47.02] And left us sittin' here without no plan
[01:54.68] Swimmin' through bills like Michael Phelps
[01:57.47] Down and out and can't get no help
[02:00.04] The kids are hungry
[02:01.46] Peepin' French Poodles
[02:02.85] Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen noodles
[02:05.54] Standin' in line with a family to feed
[02:08.10] Tradin' Manhattan for Indian beads
[02:10.86] It's been a long time since we felt good
[02:13.51] Got everybody waitin' on Robin Hood
[02:16.28] Sell me up, sell me down
[02:18.73] Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
[02:21.68] Take my house, take my car
[02:24.01] But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
[02:27.04] Take my crib, take my car
[02:29.32] But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar
[02:32.62] Once upon a time in America (America)
[02:38.36] The politicians went and fell outta love
[02:43.66] There was a raping of the common man
[02:49.05] And left us sittin' here without no plan
[02:56.71] Sell me up, sell me down
[02:59.17] Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
[03:02.12] Take my house, take my car
[03:04.59] But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
[03:07.53] Take my crib, take my car
[03:09.82] But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar (at the corner bar)
[03:56.25]
