Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit Scaring pedestrians for a minute Tearing up the highways, 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 Now, 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 You could even get 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 Alright Mother Mary your children are slaughtered Some of you mothers better lock up your daughters Who's protecting the innocenti But heap big trouble in the land of plenty How we're gonna do what's best Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west Alright Once upon a time in the west Once upon a time in the west Once upon a time in the west
