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 and 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 Ah, 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? Now heap big trouble in the land of plenty Tell me how we're gonna do what's best You guessed, 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 (once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) Hey (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West) (Once upon a time in the West)
