Lyrics
Eastside, Westside
Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1996
Sittin? here sippin? on cheap wine,
Wishin? their lives could be ours.
Dreamin? of our fortunes
And the lives we could have led,
If it?d been us instead.
Chorus:
Eastside ,Westside
Planets, collide,
We all survive,
Ain?t it rough?
Have you had enough?
Bridge:
I?ve been thinking about ,
All this tragedy
I?ve been thinking,
How ?bout you?
I?ve been thinking about,
All this majesty
I?ve been thinking,
How ?bout you?
