East Side of Town Lyrics

[00:19.13] You think you got problems
[00:21.67] You don't know the half of it.
[00:26.26] I hear you talk about your millions and your politics
[00:34.96] You wanna cross the poverty line
[00:38.92] And then you wanna come have a look around
[00:43.24] So why you don't come find me - on the east side of town
[00:52.22] You think you're mister do-good
[00:55.17] But you don't know what you're talking bout
[01:00.21] When you find yourself in my neighborhood
[01:03.45] You can't wait to get the hell out
[01:08.78] You wanna see what it means to suffer
[01:12.43] You wanna see what it means to be down
[01:16.29] Then why don't you come over - to the east side of town
[01:24.28]
[01:59.55] You think your dogs are mean
[02:02.56] But you ain't seen nothin' yet
[02:07.81] I'll show you things you've never seen
[02:11.18] And you won't forget
[02:16.17] You wanna see how the other half lives
[02:19.99] You wanna see how we get around
[02:23.91] Why don't you come visit on the east side of town
[02:33.20] You got your ideas and your visions
[02:36.42] And you say you sympathize
[02:41.39] You look but you don't listen
[02:44.66] There's no empathy in your eyes
[02:49.62] You make deals and promises
[02:53.43] And everybody bows down
[02:57.55] And now you wanna come shake my hand
[03:01.40] On the east side of town
[03:06.41] So why you don't come find me
[03:09.34] On the east side of town
[03:14.70] Why don't you come over
[03:17.64] To the east side of town
[03:23.22] Why don't you come visit
[03:26.17] The east side of town
[03:32.01] Come on over to the east side of town
[03:36.76]
