Once upon a time in the west
 Dire Straits
 Hey,everyone!
 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 for 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 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...
