Lucinda Williams - East Side Of Town lyrics

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
