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 He said he'd be surprised if they remembered only one Chorus: 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 workin in his yard He said I'm glad they shot me cause that job was just too damned hard Chorus 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 Chorus
