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

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

Chorus:
And you're so surprised
he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
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 neighbourhood threat?

And now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Not in your face
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighbourhood threat?
