Neighbors

One, two, ready, go

Poking through the shutters with my nose between the blinds

Checking out your backyard, checking your big behind

First you put up that stupid fence, still I shut my mouth

Then you painted your garage red just like they do down south

I guess we'll always be neighbors 'cause neither one of us will move

We'll always be neighbors 'cause we both got something to prove

When you come over for sugar, I ain't got nothing for you

You invite me for coffee and serve me a warm brew

When you come wanting a lawnmower, turn it with no gas

So when you want my hedge clippers, I shove them up your ass

I guess we'll always be neighbors 'cause neither one of us will move

If it's going to happen, it'll be you who moves away

I guess we'll always be neighbors 'cause neither one of us will move

We'll always be neighbors 'cause we both got something to prove

Oh, why are you my neighbor?

It really makes me want to scream

I know you see me pacing while you sleep in the day

I try to sleep at night, I know you keep me wide awake

You turn up your Victrola as loud as it can go

I ask you sir would you turn it down and you say no

And then you turn it up, and then you turn it up

A little bit louder now, a little bit louder now

A little bit louder now, a little bit louder now

I play classy hillbilly music, you play white boy punk

I play so-called race music that you call ghetto junk

If it's going to happen, it'll be you who moves away

I guess we'll always be neighbors 'cause neither one of us will move

We'll always be neighbors 'cause we both got something to prove

Oh, why are you my neighbor?

It really makes me want to scream

Well, you throw all your pinecones on my side of the fence

When apple season comes around you never do

The work that you're required to by the city

You never do your lawn, you never meet the

Standards right, you never sing my song

When the city commissioner comes knocking at your door

You lie and tell him he failed vacation and there's nothing more

You clean it up so nicely until he goes away

He's gone for a little while and everything goes astray

Oh, why are you my neighbor?

It really makes me want to scream
