Corner Bar
Uncle Kracker

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


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

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
