East Side Of Town

You think you got problems

You don't know the half of it.

I hear you talk about you're millions, and your politics

You wanna cross the poverty line

Then you come have a look around

So why you don't come find me - on east side of town

You think you're mister do good

And you know what you're talking 'bout

When you find yourself in my neighbourhood

You can't wait to get the hell out

You wanna see what it means to suffer

You wanna see what means to be down

Why don't you come over - to the east side of town

You think your dogs are mean

But you ain't see nothin' yet

I'll show you things you never

Seen and you wish you could forget

You wanna see how the other half lives

You wanna see how we've be around

Then why don't you come visit me on east side of town

You got your ideas and your visions,

And you say you sympathise

You look but you don't listen

There's no empathy in your eyes

You make deals and promises, and everybody bows down

And now you wanna come shake my hand

On the east side of town

So why you don't come find me

On the east side of town

Why don't you come over

To the east side of town

Why don't you come visit me?
