Uncle Kracker - Corner Bar lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Once upon a time in the land of plenty<br>

The land of lawyers, guns and money<br>

A funny little thing we all call greed<br>

Brought my hometown down to its knees<br>

<br>

A little bit worried 'bout the shape I'm in<br>

Baby needs shoes and the wallet's thin<br>

Got no gas or electricity<br>

But everybody's singin' in harmony<br>

<br>

Sell me up, sell me down<br>

I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around<br>

Take my house, take my car<br>

But you can't take my seat at the corner bar<br>

Take my crib, take my car<br>

But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar<br>

<br>

No block party, everybody's evicted<br>

No street lights, no runnin' liquids<br>

I got no room on my credit card<br>

And I'm three court dates from the prison yard<br>

<br>

My credit score's fallen like the New York Mets<br>

There ain't a debt collector that ain't called yet<br>

They say, "Money don't talk, it only swears"<br>

And got me cussing in my underwear<br>

<br>

Sell me up, sell me down<br>

I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around<br>

Take my house, take my car<br>

But you can't take my seat at the corner bar<br>

Take my crib, take my car<br>

But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar<br>

<br>

Once upon a time in America<br>

The politicians went and fell outta love<br>

There was a raping of the common man<br>

And left us sittin' here without no plan<br>

<br>

Swimmin' through bills like Michael Phelps<br>

Down and out and can't get no help<br>

The kids are hungry, peepin' French Poodles<br>

Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen noodles<br>

<br>

Standin' in line with a family to feed<br>

Tradin' Manhattan for Indian beads<br>

It's been a long time since we felt good<br>

Got everybody waitin' on Robin Hood<br>

<br>

Sell me up, sell me down<br>

I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around<br>

Take my house, take my car<br>

But you can't take my seat at the corner bar<br>

Take my crib, take my car<br>

But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar<br>

<br>

Once upon a time in America<br>

The politicians went and fell outta love<br>

There was a raping of the common man<br>

And left us sittin' here without no plan<br>

<br>

Sell me up, sell me down<br>

I be sold out sittin' here hangin' around<br>

Take my house, take my car<br>

But you can't take my seat at the corner bar<br>

Take my crib, take my car<br>

But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar<br>

<BR><BR>
