Corner Bar Lyrics - Happy Hour - 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
