This song is all about a guy we used to know from IA that moved out to Cali with us, then moved back eastie. He gets beat up more than any other person in the world. It started out with Jeff playing the verse riff and me straight dissing Westie. It was one of our fave pastimes, back then, giving him shit.
lyrics
My name is Eric West, some call me Westie
Some call me Westicle and sometimes I get testy
I get too stoned to keep a job, I guess no job will keep me
And ya know I just can't find me a girl
But there's always someone to beat me
'Cause I'm Westie from the Eastie and I need to get stoned or Whatever
Hey Bill I got the munchies- let's run for the Border
A six-pack of tacos and a large Mountain Dew, I think that's what I'll order
I can't believe all the beer you guys drink, it's left me feeling queasy
No cash no dope I'm sick for home
So I'll hop a bus back Eastie
'Cause I'm Westie from the Eastie and I need to get stoned or whatever
(guitar solo, drum solo, bass solo, chorus, poop)
