Uncle Kracker

Corner Bar Songtext / Lyric


Uncle Kracker - Corner Bar Songtext


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 about 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

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

Got me cussing in my underwear



Sell me up, sell me down

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

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

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
