I [D]came down from the mountain with Moses by my side
He had [D]twenty-eight commandments, not one I hadn't [D7]tried
He [G]shook his head and smashed eighteen, I asked him what he'd done
He [D]said he'd be surprised if they re[A]membered only [D]one
Chorus:
Because the [G]heart of your good [D]neighbor
Always [D]seems extremely [A]real
But when you [D]put them [G]all to[D]gether
It don't [D]seem [A]like no big [D]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
Chorus
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
Chorus
