Joey The Jone - Dave Sharp[00:00:00]

Heard a howling banshee[00:00:25]

On a funeral stone[00:00:28]

Was the sound of the children[00:00:31]

Weeping for one of their own[00:00:33]

The kid died in an instant[00:00:36]

Took a bullet in the back[00:00:39]

Shot from a 45 in a police attack[00:00:42]

Was a routine shakedown[00:00:48]

New Jersey was the place[00:00:51]

A quick right from the sin is where[00:00:54]

The kid took it in the face[00:00:56]

This is the killing of Joey the Jone[00:00:59]

Innocent to the bone[00:01:02]

Now his name is cast in stone[00:01:05]

This is the killing[00:01:08]

The killing of Joey the Jone[00:01:13]

There was a reverend and a doctor[00:01:28]

Shaking a mojo around[00:01:31]

Little children weeping tears[00:01:33]

As joey was put in the ground[00:01:36]

They covered the kid with dust[00:01:39]

Nobody was digging the scene[00:01:42]

As the local social workers[00:01:45]

Moved in looking mean[00:01:48]

Trying to smooth the anger[00:01:51]

Firing up the crowd[00:01:54]

Trying to get things back together[00:01:57]

Force the people underground[00:01:59]

Something's going on here[00:02:02]

What it is nobody's sure[00:02:05]

The reverend prayed for guidance[00:02:08]

And the doctor's seeking a cure[00:02:11]

There's a plot smelt to the heavens[00:02:14]

The whole town's hung in shame[00:02:17]

Blood on a whole generation[00:02:20]

Of a entire city insane[00:02:22]

And there's a bridge from coast to coast[00:02:25]

Linking people by the hand[00:02:28]

At a time when war[00:02:31]

Is being declared[00:02:33]

On the poor people of the land[00:02:34]

This is the killing of Joey the Jone[00:02:37]

Innocent to the bone[00:02:40]

Now his name is cast in stone[00:02:43]

This is the killing[00:02:46]

The killing of Joey the Jone[00:02:50]

Now there's a whole lot of talk in the churches[00:03:05]

A whole lot of talk around the place[00:03:08]

The talk is talk the talk is cheap[00:03:11]

And those who want to save face[00:03:15]

This school yard shakedown has got a whole bunch of folks on the run[00:03:18]

The reverend the doctor hit the streets[00:03:23]

To see what could be done[00:03:26]

And at the funerals down town[00:03:29]

The bodies where under age[00:03:32]

And there were sermons spoken every night for to calm the people rage[00:03:34]

Meanwhile after the killing[00:03:41]

At an all night candle lit wake[00:03:43]

The hymn was no justice no peace[00:03:46]

The powers that be are all fake[00:03:49]

The crowd started a riot[00:03:52]

Police cars burned the streets[00:03:55]

There was a big fuss[00:03:57]

The reverend declared we've got to stop or we're all dead meat[00:03:59]

Now the lord came down[00:04:03]

Said 'Reverend get up off your knees[00:04:06]

And go to the powers and call out loud[00:04:10]

To stop this big city squeeze[00:04:12]

This is the killing of Joey the Jone[00:04:15]

Innocent to the bone[00:04:18]

Now his name is cast in stone[00:04:21]

This is the killing[00:04:24]

The killing of Joey the Jone[00:04:29]

Now the doctor said we've got to heal this place[00:05:05]

It needs a heart to keep it alive[00:05:08]

You've got to speak if there's going to be change[00:05:11]

And the reverend's going to tell you why[00:05:14]

Some say the crowds are a danger[00:05:17]

You see it every time they meet[00:05:19]

You might recall that Jesus was nailed by a crowd gathered in the street[00:05:23]

But if it's a question of justice[00:05:28]

Look them straight in the eye[00:05:31]

Say who did the hanging who did the swinging[00:05:34]

And who was it for that he died[00:05:37]

This is the killing of Joey the Jone[00:05:39]

What's innocent to the bone[00:05:43]

Now his name is cast in stone[00:05:45]

This is the killing[00:05:48]

The killing of Joey the Jone[00:05:53]

Joey the Jone[00:05:59]
