Lyrics
It’s the law in our building: no shouting at night
Let’s get along; let’s be polite
But the guy next to me is at it again
I hear him raving ‘cause the walls are thin
It’s the law in the city: MYOB
I ignore him; he ignores me
But I see bruises on his little girl’s skin
I know how they got there ‘cause the walls are thin
Oh, the walls are thin; yeah, the walls are thin
Oh, the walls are thin; yeah, the walls are thin
The cops and the judges have been there and back
The mother tells tales to cover his tracks
At night the girl cries, “Daddy, please don’t come in.”
But I hear him go at her again and again and again
It’s the law of the jungle: you do what you can
Man versus beast; beast versus man
So tonight when I see him I’m inviting him in
But I’ll have to be quiet ‘cause the walls are thin
I’ll have to be quiet ‘cause the walls are so thin
It’s the law of survival: sink or swim
I better be careful ‘cause the walls are thin
Let’s get along; let’s be polite
But the guy next to me is at it again
I hear him raving ‘cause the walls are thin
It’s the law in the city: MYOB
I ignore him; he ignores me
But I see bruises on his little girl’s skin
I know how they got there ‘cause the walls are thin
Oh, the walls are thin; yeah, the walls are thin
Oh, the walls are thin; yeah, the walls are thin
The cops and the judges have been there and back
The mother tells tales to cover his tracks
At night the girl cries, “Daddy, please don’t come in.”
But I hear him go at her again and again and again
It’s the law of the jungle: you do what you can
Man versus beast; beast versus man
So tonight when I see him I’m inviting him in
But I’ll have to be quiet ‘cause the walls are thin
I’ll have to be quiet ‘cause the walls are so thin
It’s the law of survival: sink or swim
I better be careful ‘cause the walls are thin
