East Coast Jones Lyrics - Ten Hands

(Slavens) 

back home it's the same 

things are very slow to change 

by the time the news comes in from L.A. 

the latest fad is already passe (hey, hey) 

the clothes and the music and the latest phrase 

tomorrow has the reek of yesterday 

everybody wants to keep up 

with the east coast Jones 

and the west coast way to play 

back here it's the same 

everything is up to date 

they say 

build it up, buy it up, eat it up fast 

it's made for looks 

but it ain't made to last 

buy a nice house 

buy a nice car 

junior executives 

born to be a star 

if you want to be in fashion 

you'll have to pay 

the east coast Jones 

and the west coast way to play 

out there it's the same 

except there ain't nobody knows your name 

'the grass is always greener on the other side' 

and 'you can run but you can never hide' 

well you see 

all the same rules will still apply 

you'll still get low 

you know you'll still get high 

everybody runs to keep up 

with the east coast Jones 

and the west coast way to play
