What's your neighbourhood like?

For the people across the street

Neighbour (Clea Roddick)

I am your neighbour, I live just next door
I know you move the snow and park your car
I’ve never seen the inside of your walls
And I don’t think of you that much at all

‘Cause I’ve been taught not to speak to strangers
And you’ve been told to watch your back
How will we make it through the ages
When we don’t even know the neighbours?

I inhabit orange, you reside in green
I have a mountain, you have just one bean
I’ve never seen the inside of your walls
And I don’t think of you enough at all

‘Cause I’ve been taught not to speak to strangers
And you’ve been told to watch your back
How will we make it through the ages
When we don’t even know the neighbours?

Articulate, you’re full of it, have you ever been outside?

‘Cause you’ve been taught not to speak to strangers
You’ve been told to watch your back
How will we make it through the ages
When we don’t even know the neighbours?

We’ve been taught not to speak to strangers
And we’ve been told to watch our backs
How will we make it through the ages
When we don’t even know the neighbours?
