Welcome to the west side where honesty's not required
Where things thatย reallyย matter really don't inspire
Where substance is irrelevant, we only deal with style
While we stab you in the back,ย ย we serve you with a smile
Cause we treat you with disrespect, no need to get hostile
Don't take it personal, you'll get over it after awhile
Where integrity is as fleeting as the wind
Although we treat you with contempt, can't we still be friends?
Don't take it personal, it's our way of doing business
Deception is our mantra, in fact she's our holy mistress
I'll stay on the East side where talk is just not words
Where people are genuine and have higher standards.
This poem deals with the obvious different moral and philosophical standards between  the West and the East side of the State of Washington. The same could be said for the state of Oregon.
