The House You Live In

Go first in the world, go forth with your fears

Remember a price must be paid

Be always too soon, be never too fast

At the time when all bets must be laidBeware of the darkness, be kind to your children

Remember the woman who waits

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at your gateWhen you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail

Beware of the dangers below

And the song that you sing should not be too sad

And be sure not to sing it too slowBe calm in the face of all common disgraces

And know what they're doin' it for

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at your doorWhen you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost

Consider the burden of fame

And he who is wise will not criticize

When other men fail at the gameBeware of strange faces and dark dingy places

Be careful while bending the law

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at your doorWhen you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal

Decide what it is that you need

Is it money or love, is it learnin' to live

Or is it the mouth you must feedBe known as a man who will always be candid

On questions that do not relate

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate

And the house you live in will never fall down

If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate
