Somebody Lives There

There's a house down the road

With the roof cavin' in

Where an old man rockin' on the front porch is spittin' in a tin

And the bankers think they own him

Money's late lets tear him down

But when they went to serve him papers

He was no where to be found

Somebody lives there

Somebody lives there

There's a cardboard box in an alley

Where a woman sleeps alone

She keeps her things in a plastic bag

She puts her head on a pillow of stone

And the trash man thinks he owns it

It's his job to move it away

But as he reached for those paper walls

He heard a neighbor softly say

Somebody lives there

Somebody lives there

Chorus:

And everybody needs a little shelter from the cold

So why not line your pockets with the truth instead of gold

Somebody lives there

There's an Indian Reservation in old New Mexico

They're losin' land to greedy hands

Now they weep because they know

That the baron's win the battles

And the case is quietly closed

Uncle Sam allows the plan

That kills the Navajo's

Somebody lives there

Somebody lives there

(Chorus)

There's a city in a country

South of Mexico

Where the cost of life is less than the price

Of the coffee beans they grow

And the war down there means nothin'

Unless the final bomb should blow

If another race should find this place

No one would ever know

That somebody lives there

Somebody lives there

(Chorus)
