Good Neighbor
I came down from the mountain
With Moses by my side
He had twenty-eight commandments, not one
I hadn't tried
He shook his head and smashed
Eighteen I asked him what he'd done
And he said he'd be surprised
If they remembered only one
Because the heart of your good neighbor
Always seems extremely real
But when you put them all together
It don't seem like no big deal
I saw old Jack Kennedy just
Raking up some leaves
I asked him which man's theory was
The one I should believe
Why the hell's a man like
Him working in his yard
He said I'm glad they shot me
Cause that job was just too damned hard
Because the heart of your good neighbor
Always seems extremely real
But when you put them all together
It don't seem like no big deal
They hired the finest waiters
They had checkered table cloths
Someone took a Polaroid so
The moment wasn't lost
And all that you could eat
On a Chinese food buffet
But when Jesus read his cookie
It said stay home today
Because the heart of your good neighbor
Always seems extremely real
But when you put them all together
It don't seem like no big deal
