East Side Of Town

You think you got problems

You don't know the half of it.

I hear you talk about your millions and your politics

You wanna cross the poverty line

And then you wanna come have a look around

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

You think you're mister do-good

But you don't know what you're talking bout

When you find yourself in my neighborhood

You can't wait to get the hell out

You wanna see what it means to suffer

You wanna see what it means to be down

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

You think your dogs are mean

But you ain't seen nothin' yet

I'll show you things you've never seen

And you won't forget

You wanna see how the other half lives

You wanna see how we get around

Why don't you come visit on the east side of town

You got your ideas and your visions

And you say you sympathize

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

The east side of town

Come on over to the east side of town
