Walking on the streets of D.C.,
On the East Coast where I live,
You say what's the 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,
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
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah, a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind, leave today
You know

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