《Joey The Jone》歌词

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

[00:00:25] Heard a howling banshee

[00:00:28] On a funeral stone

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:48] Was a routine shakedown

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

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

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

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

[00:01:02] Innocent to the bone

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

[00:01:08] This is the killing

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

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

[00:01:31] Shaking a mojo around

[00:01:33] Little children weeping tears

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

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

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

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

[00:01:48] Moved in looking mean

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

[00:01:54] Firing up the crowd

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

[00:01:59] Force the people underground

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:33] Is being declared

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

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

[00:02:40] Innocent to the bone

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

[00:02:46] This is the killing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:41] Meanwhile after the killing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:18] Innocent to the bone

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

[00:04:24] This is the killing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:48] This is the killing

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

[00:05:59] Joey the Jone
