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
   And he said he'd be surprised
   If they remembered only one
  
   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
  
   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
  
   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
  
   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
