Case 795(the family) - John Mellencamp

Written by：John Mellencamp

Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones

On their first anniversary

Down in Dallas Texas

In a small apartment

With nobody present

He pulled out a knife

And he stuck it to her

He left her bleeding

On the floor in the kitchen

With cake on her fingers

And her wedding ring holding

In her hand was a note

That said the wicked must suffer

And he drove off quickly

To his girlfriend's apartment

But who really suffers in the end

It's easy enough for us to pretend that

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made

But there's no sheets on

From the courtroom stand Tony

Said he was sorry

That he was sad and mixed up

And he didn't know

What he was doing

That he'd always loved Alice and

He begged for forgiveness

So he threw himself on the

Mercy of the jury

And he told how his father

Had beat and abused him

Back in grade school

In the basement den

And that maybe prison

Was the best thing for him

And he said "Oh God

Can You forgive me " Yeah

But who really suffers in the end

It's easy enough for us

All to pretend that

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made

But there's no sheets on

How many days does

It take to make us weak

And how many hours do

People spend lonely

In the heart of the heart

The family lay dying

The ruin of a nation lies

At our feet yeah

Everything's all right with the family

Everything is safe here at home

Everything's all right with the family

The beds are made

But there's no sheets on

Everything's all right

With the family

Everything is safe

Here at home

Everything's all right

With the family

The beds are made

But there's no sheets on
