Various low resolution clips of the song were played in a Tinychat on November 19, 2017. Two days later, the ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'' demo of the song from 2007 (but with an overdub with Pat on drums from 2012, plus an entirely new bridge from the same year) surfaced, along with demos of the unreleased songs [[Call the Police]] and [[El Presidente]]. | Various low resolution clips of the song were played in a Tinychat on November 19, 2017.

==Lyrics== | |||
<poem>I finally found a girl to love | |||
It's time for me to settle down | |||
The trouble is that I can't decide | |||
Where to spend the rest of my life | |||
At first I thought I wanted to be | |||
One more east coast family | |||
But now I'm not so sure anymore | |||
Which coast I love more, | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
The east is where your family is | |||
It's where you grew up | |||
Where you raise you kids | |||
The west is where you paid your dues | |||
Made your name and had your breakthroughs | |||
The east has a more intellectual bent | |||
The west has winners bound for success | |||
I know that's stale but I can't decide | |||
Where I want to reside | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
I'm so sick of moving around | |||
Once and for all I wanna settle down | |||
Moved so much when I was a kid | |||
Always trying to make new friends | |||
If it's roots that you want, come on | |||
The west is where you lived for so long | |||
It's got your bros and your doctors too | |||
The hairstylist that perfected your 'do | |||
No, that ain't nothing that you should mind | |||
Think of the ironwood trees that you climbed | |||
When you were a kid and the seasons would change | |||
It just ain't right when they stay the same | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
Think of the times that you had in the west | |||
The chicks that randomly showed you their breasts | |||
When you walked in the streets in the city at night | |||
Looking for someone to make you feel (alright) | |||
Think of your mom and think of your dad | |||
Don't you think you oughta' pay them back? | |||
And help them find their happiness | |||
And they can help with the kids | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
How could you raise your kids in the east? | |||
Don't you remember how you would weep? | |||
And the backwards, bigoted, bully creeps | |||
You should find some alternative beats | |||
If alternative beats don't sound produced | |||
Then, by all means, go ahead and move | |||
When I said it wouldn't matter if you'd blown your youth | |||
????? | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
Now hold on, guys, let's give it a rest | |||
I like both coasts, the east and the west | |||
I'll have to think on this for a while | |||
And ask myself with smile: | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
(Where can I do my best?) | |||
East coast or west coast? | |||
(Where can I give my best?) | |||
I think you know where you wanna live, bro | |||
Aw, shut... the... shut up</poem> | |||
