Lyrics

GLASS HOUSES

chorus:
People who live in glass houses should never throw a rock
One mistake is all it?d take, then what have you got
Not a friend, just a foe, you?ll have a house, you?ll have a hole
Everyone wants to take a shot at the one who threw the first darn rock

Jimmy Bob went and robbed the liquor store downtown
His neighbor, Sue, couldn?t wait to clue in everyone around
On the phone from nine to one, having a ball, having some fun
Talking bad about little Jim, the boy who taught her boy to swim

chorus repeated

When neighbor Sue was finally through calling everyone in town
She hung up the phone, should have known what goes around comes around
Phone began to ring and ring, everyone says they have seen
Paper says Sue?s little boy drove the getaway car at the liquor store

chorus repeated
Won?t be long you won?t have a house
All because of your big mouth
