Am
Down where your paint is cracking
F
Look down your backstairs buddy
Am
Somebody's living there and
F
He don't really feel the weather
Am
And he don't share your pleasures
F
No, he don't share your pleasures
Am
Did you see his eyes?
         F
Did you see the crazy eyes?

Chorus:
C                  G
And you're so surprised
                   F
he doesn't run to catch your ash
C         G
Everybody always wants
    F
to kiss your trash
    Am
And you can't help him, no one can
     F
And now that he knows
                   Am
There's nothing to get,
                           F
will you still place your bet
Against the neighbourhood threat?

Somewhere a baby's feeding
Somewhere a mother's needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you're so surprised
he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

Chorus:
But you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the Neighborhood Threat?
