The silent neighbor is me especially at
Night, when they fight, just being polite
And not a nosy bee
Those bruises the kids had, they swore they
Fell, not my fault, not my responsibility to
Tell, just being polite and not a nosy bee
Or when their mother broke her arm that
Night, her screams I did not hear I say,
The stereo was up, and I was looking the
Way, just being polite and not a nosy bee
Yes the screaming goes on, deaf is me
Not being polite and not a nosy bee.
