east coast anthem lyrics

Walkin' on the streets of DC
On the East Coast where I live
You say, "What's your problem?
What's with this angry kid?"

You don't like the way I walk or the way I talk
Or the way I swing my hands
You don't like the words I speak or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll never understand

You know on the East Coast we ride until we die
You know, oh oh oh
Well there's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind
Walk this way, you know

And wouldn't it be perfect
If I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or two
We'd change a thing or two

We would change the way you think
We would change the way I think
We can't change the way they think
So we're not changin' anything

You know on the East Coast we ride until we die
You know, oh oh oh
Well there's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind
We'll leave today, you know

'Cause on the East Coast we ride
Until the day we die

There's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind
Walk this way

There's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind
We'll leave today, you know
