"East L.A." lyrics
Me and lady sittin' on the bench tonight
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer air
Lookin' across the city at those starlit hills
Talkin' about those crazy rich people livin' up there on stilts
Must be somethin'
Must be somethin' to live that way
Well, we're just across town
A couple hundred million miles away
Mm, in East L.A.
Up early in the morning workin' nine to five
We both work full time but we survive
We go out weekends, have a pretty good time
We got lots of friends, we don't need to spend a dime
Tell me who's to say
Who's to say we don't do okay?
Well, we're just across town
A couple hundred million miles away
Uh, in East L.A.
So I'm sorry if we can't stay
But it's well past midnight and we've gotta work today
We gotta be on our way
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer air
Lookin' across the city at those starlit hills
Talkin' about those crazy rich people livin' up there on stilts
Must be somethin'
Must be somethin' to live that way
Well, we're just across town
A couple hundred million miles away
Mm, in East L.A.
Up early in the morning workin' nine to five
We both work full time but we survive
We go out weekends, have a pretty good time
We got lots of friends, we don't need to spend a dime
Tell me who's to say
Who's to say we don't do okay?
Well, we're just across town
A couple hundred million miles away
Uh, in East L.A.
So I'm sorry if we can't stay
But it's well past midnight and we've gotta work today
We gotta be on our way
