Case 795(the family) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]
Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones[00:00:36]
On their first anniversary[00:00:40]
Down in Dallas Texas[00:00:41]
In a small apartment[00:00:44]
With nobody present[00:00:46]
He pulled out a knife[00:00:48]
And he stuck it to her[00:00:50]
He left her bleeding[00:00:52]
On the floor in the kitchen[00:00:54]
With cake on her fingers[00:00:57]
And her wedding ring holding[00:00:59]
In her hand was a note[00:01:01]
That said the wicked must suffer[00:01:02]
And he drove off quickly[00:01:05]
To his girlfriend's apartment[00:01:07]
But who really suffers in the end [00:01:10]
It's easy enough for us to pretend that[00:01:14]
Everything's all right with the family[00:01:19]
Everything is safe here at home[00:01:23]
Everything's all right with the family[00:01:28]
The beds are made[00:01:32]
But there's no sheets on[00:01:33]
From the courtroom stand Tony [00:01:54]
Said he was sorry[00:01:55]
That he was sad and mixed up[00:01:57]
And he didn't know[00:02:00]
What he was doing[00:02:01]
That he'd always loved Alice and[00:02:02]
He begged for forgiveness[00:02:04]
So he threw himself on the[00:02:06]
Mercy of the jury[00:02:08]
And he told how his father[00:02:11]
Had beat and abused him[00:02:12]
Back in grade school[00:02:15]
In the basement den[00:02:17]
And that maybe prison[00:02:19]
Was the best thing for him[00:02:21]
And he said "Oh God [00:02:24]
Can You forgive me " Yeah[00:02:25]
But who really suffers in the end [00:02:29]
It's easy enough for us[00:02:32]
All to pretend that[00:02:35]
Everything's all right with the family[00:02:37]
Everything is safe here at home[00:02:41]
Everything's all right with the family[00:02:46]
The beds are made[00:02:50]
But there's no sheets on[00:02:51]
How many days does[00:03:38]
It take to make us weak [00:03:40]
And how many hours do[00:03:43]
People spend lonely [00:03:44]
In the heart of the heart [00:03:47]
The family lay dying[00:03:49]
The ruin of a nation lies[00:03:51]
At our feet yeah[00:03:53]
Everything's all right with the family[00:04:04]
Everything is safe here at home[00:04:08]
Everything's all right with the family[00:04:13]
The beds are made[00:04:17]
But there's no sheets on[00:04:18]
Everything's all right[00:04:22]
With the family[00:04:23]
Everything is safe[00:04:26]
Here at home[00:04:27]
Everything's all right[00:04:30]
With the family[00:04:32]
The beds are made[00:04:34]
But there's no sheets on[00:04:36]
