Once Upon A Time In The West Lyrics

Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit 

Scaring the pedestrians for a minute 

Crossing up progress driving on the grass 

Leaving just enough room to pass 

Sunday driver never took a test 

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 

Yes it's no use saying that you don't know nothing 

It's still gonna get you if you don't do something 

Sitting on a fence that's a dangerous course 

Oh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force 

Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest 

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 

Mother Mary your children are slaughtered 

Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters 

Who's protecting the innocenti 

Heap big trouble in the land of plenty 

Tell me how we're gonna do what's best 

You guess once upon a time in the west 

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west 

Once upon a time in the west
