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
