my neighbour's house
My neighbor's house is burning down And I cannot say why Ten million angry mouthless tongues All lapping at the sky My neighbor's house is burning down And soon will mine be too For the wind is slowly turning And there is nothing I can do  So I don't Do a thing I just stand There and grin Like I'm one of the idiots  My neighbor's house is burning down I turn the other cheek Choose not to hear his cries of help With masterful technique My neighbor's house is burning down And I wish that I could care I search for fellow feeling To find there's nothing there  Just a sense Of relief That it's him And not me Always one of the idiots  If it proves to be some kind of test Can I say that I gave it my best? If my neighbor cannot be my friend Then we're both gonna burn in the end  My neighbor's house is burning down My neighbor's house is burning down My neighbor's house is burning down My neighbor's house is burning down My neighbor's house is burning down My neighbor's house is burning down  If it proves to be some kind of test Can I say that I gave it my best? If my neighbor cannot be my friend Then we're both gonna burn in the end
