John Mellencamp - Case 795 (the Family)
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 He Left Her Bleeding And He Stuck It To Her. 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. It's Easy Enough For Us To Pretend That But Who Really Suffers In The End? Everything Is Safe Here At Home. Everything's All Right With The Family. 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. And He Didn't Know What He Was Doing, That He Was Sad And Mixed Up, That He'd Always Loved Alice So He Threw Himself And He Begged For Forgiveness. On The Mercy Of The Jury Had Beat And Abused Him And He Told How His Father In The Basement Den, Back In Grade School 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. And How Many Hours Do People Spend Lonely? How Many Days Does It Take To Make Us Weak? The Ruin Of A Nation Lies At Our Feet, Yeah. In The Heart Of The Heart The Family Lay Dying Everything's All Right With The Family. Everything Is Safe Here At Home. The Beds Are Made But There's No Sheets On. Everything's All Right With The Family. (repeat Chorus.)
