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>
<BR>
