sometimes it's hard to lie

well I've seen right through the country

and through the all seeing eye

and through the all seeing eye

there was a man, he sang so pretty

he loved me for two thousand years

why'd he come to new york city

once upon a time in america

once upon a time in america

he said: "you'll all get back again,

sometimes it's hard to see

we belong to all God's countries"

and built a city there

they didn't want to see the future

once upon a time in america

once upon a time in america

he said: "you'll all get back again,

this is the land of the free,

we belong to all God's countries"
