What I know, and what I see, I owe to our technology,
Satellites that crowd our space are bringing me the human race,
Move my chair just to turn the channel; this is more than I can handle,
Poverty with tear-stained faces, in my living room of all place,
I hear them knocking at my door; I give a little, but they ask for more,
It's getting harder, day by day, to turn my head and turn away.

In the world, the sky is falling,
In my conscience, I am stalling,
See the hunger, feel no pain,
But in my heart I hide my shame.

There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood.

To the window; I seek relief, but there are armies in the streets,
Like a global gang of hoods, they want to rule our neighborhood,
Obligations have to change, our circumstances rearrange,
All the world, it’s bad and good, have now become my neighborhood.

In the world, the sky is falling,
In my conscience, I am stalling,
See the hunger, feel no pain,
But in my heart I hide my shame.

There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood.

Hey,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
There goes the neighborhood,
