1080 – House Next Door lyrics

It's a shame that we live in an imperfect world
For Audrey Taylor from the house next door
Just last year her husband died, Audrey became a bit senile
She still thinks she owns her house, but her son sold her out
He sold her house and all her things, didn't tell her anything
He put her in a nursing home where she spends her final days alone...
Although I may not know what the future has in store
I hope it's not all as corrupt as the house next door
The new neighbours are moving in, first doing some construction
With the help of low wager mexican day laborers
They brag to us like it's joke, pretend to be decent folk
Human rights are second best, we honor most our own best dressed
They're moving in any day now, things have changed we see and how
Our greed and pride lead us in, overlooking our own sins
